Quite an autumnal feel to the day, although the evening was fine and six Swifts screamed over about 21:30. Still fascinated by the evidence of summer warblers still present. Apart from fleeting sightings (including a Chiffchaff with the tit flock visiting the garden bird feeders), lots of contact calls (both the plain Willow Warbler call and the jaunty Chiffchaff one) have been heard. Also, odd Willow Warblers continue to sing quietly here and there. Blackcaps seem to be silent (I think I need to learn to recognose the "tic" alarm call).

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
