Weekend Round-Up

It has been a lovely autumn weekend - quite mild and bright sunshine.

A few red darter dragonflies continue to linger on, but otherwise the signs all around us are those of autumn. There are a few redwings around, and I found my first fieldfares of the autumn on Saturday, 22 October, at Oldfield Ponds. Just east of the wood at Oldfield Ponds, there were two red kite feeding in a newly ploughed field. In total we saw six kites as we walked around this area. Also one brown hare.

Today there were more kites about - three between the Hanglands and Ben Jonson Pit.
