Garden Update - August 2012

Around 30 house sparrow, collared dove, single greenfinch & robin knocking about...not exactly the Pantanal but still get the odd surprise.
A greenshank calling overhead two nights ago and a buzzard over house this evening and whilst moving recycling bins thought a mouse had dived in behind. Called Di out and moved bins again and this wee fella flew up into the buddleia six feet away.
Unfortunately could only photograph the bird looking into the light so photoshop has rescued this pic a bit!

Moth numbers remain high although number of species has dropped and the vast majority of trapped moths are yellow underwings.

Still plenty of hoverflies about but a definite change in the air since the weekend so no doubt there will be some geese overhead in the next two weeks or so...winter's on its way.
