THREE MONTHS (approaching 3½) OF ALMOST UNREMITTING WESTERLIES
Here endeth the worst ever autumn in my almost twenty years of watching The Hill. A couple of highlights could hardly make up for the dearth – for some species, complete absence – of common migrants. In addition, despite countless hours listening ‘up’ and looking deliberately at the sky, no Whores of Finches flaunted themselves to anyone of my cognisance W of The Quags – they must have been sucked into some vortex.
Never again, in the field of human birding . . . ! Looking at the forecast, nothing from the East will ever come and worship . . . And we don't have a stable.
I really can’t be bothered to recount all the dross and could hardly work up the energy needed to draft this post.
There was a GREAT SNIPE on 4th.
A Swallow on 3rd. And various seagulls, variously.
