...and butterflies too

we're two days off october and we still have butterflies. Fair enough having small tortoiseshells as these hibernate and the current warm spell could wake them into a breif flight, but red admirals have been around the school and garden, which I reckon should have already begun their migration. a pleasure to see, if not a bit odd!

still got swallows

saw a handfull of swallows getting blown around whilst they were hunting across the playing feild in Bradshaw park today. Its getting pretty late now, so this is a significant record-probably!
