Dozens of swallows are flying overhead.

Not been aware of swifts/swallows/martins this year as much as
normal. Don't think I've heard a swift all year. We did have a few
martins chattering about early on but that's all. I think the warm
spell followed by the cold weeks either did for them or kept them
further south/lower down.

The rowan berries are reddening up nicely, the birches starting to
yellow, yep summer is definately ending and autumn approaching.
