The dark nights are really rolling in now and the last of
the summer visitors have flown south, leaving the garden birds to the skies
around the garden,
The pond is almost full now, thanks to the recent spate of
heavy rain showers, so this weekend my result in a trip to the garden centre
for some flora to help create and environment fit for small creatures.
Yesterday I saw a few trees starting to turn the beautiful
autumnal orange, gold and yellow colours, albeit the vast majority are still
fully green.
Given the recent drop in temperature an Indian Summer is now
unlikely, so we could be set for some glorious autumn colours in the coming
weeks.
There’s still not much activity in the garden, except for a
small flock of house sparrows and a few blue tits.
I can hear robins every so often, but nothing really of
great tits, goldfinches, dunnocks, blackbirds or the local wrens.
The owls are still heard every so often nearby, but they
must have found more favourable hunting grounds elsewhere recently.
As we all start to turn out the winter coats, the wildlife
is slowly starting to get ready for the colder seasons of the year.
A bit like use humans!
