There's a much more autumnal feel to the weather these days. It has also started to get dark noticeably early. The Brambles in the estate park are laden with berries. The Indian Balsam is going to seed, and its characteristic, sickly-sweet smell is everywhere along the river.
Lots of hay cutting going on this week (with the short respite we've had from the monsoon). Saw a big brown bird perched on a bale of newly cut hay near Inchinnan. Guessed it might have been a Pheasant but it turned out to be a Buzzard.
