Weather permitting, the skies hereabouts have been full of the local swallows. (I haven't seen a swift for some time, so they must have departed). But there have also been swallows that have apparently been flying directly over, usually in an eastwards direction. These birds I am sure are from more northern regions and are already on their way to Africa.
A chiffchaff was singing the other day, (the first to be heard for some weeks); again it is very likely that it was a bird on migration.
Large groups of tits are now flitting about our hedgerows. One party of long tailed tits must have amounted to more than twenty individuals.
