Birds are certainly on the move at the mo. Yesterday afternoon I had a Chiffchaff spend quite a while flycatching in my garden, only the 2nd one I have recorded since living here (in a terraced street in a town centre).

I have recorded a single Willow Warbler in the past too and all of these birds have come during August and the Autumn migration period.

Also of note was a single Swallow over heading Southwest

Nice one Joe...nothing quite like birding from inside the house...definitely the most comfortable hide there is!

Collared Doves

Up to three weeks ago we had never had more then two Collared Doves in our garden at any one time. Then one day then there were three, then four now today we had eight at one time. I guess that Collared Doves have had a very successful summer for breeding in our area!

Carrion Crow 1..........Goldfinch 1
Blue Tit 3.................Wren 1
Blackbird 5...............Long-tailed Tit 2
Great Tit 1
