This has reduced the spieces, so mornings have not been as good. Swallows, Sparrows and Swifts are unavailable - but early singers like Chiffchaff and Blackcap can be heard first thing.Also the breeding season is largely over now and even the moorland birds are moving around. Yesterday in pouring rain the Oystercatchers were nowhere to be seen and the Lapwings and Curlews - at first elusive - were flying off elsewhere.Rooks seem to have moved on and often aren't seen on my journey - where do they go?!Next week I'm on nights - so things will be different on the commute.</blockquote>
