Destination Africa
Most of the birds of passage have already left, the godwits, cuckoos and swifts left early…the rest are on their journey right about now like the spoonbills (above), the storks and bluethroats (below) and I shall miss them…they didn’t even say goodbye 😦 …one day I just noticed they were not there anymore…it all happens so quickly.
Equine Equanimity
In the northern hemisphere we move slowly but surely from summer to autumn, the migrating birds depart for warmer climates and in turn birds from the north will start to arrive.
My own habits change too, the dawn seems empty without the avian serenade we have become accustomed too in spring and summer.
On this particular late summer, misty morning I decided to check out some different routes as I aimlessly wandered…horses and ponies caught my eye as they greeted the new day playfully in the cool dampness of the dawn mist.
