Default The geese are back but what else is about?

I am amazed (probably more than I should be) each year how the geese
arrive at almost exactly the same time as the house martins leave.

Hi Trevor,

Don't be amazed, or shocked by Nature as it's forever teaching us 'mere'
mortals a lesson or three. When I start looking through my Phenological
records (circa 10 years) lots of these patterns occur and when you tie this
in with the moon phases it becomes even more intriguing. An observation
that I made back in the early 90's, sometimes quite by coincidence was when
Stonechats (clearly migrant type) arrived at a local hillside location,
always on the 24th February and subsequently for 4 years in a row!

Today, what maybe of more concern weather-wise longer term for you and maybe
myself is the sighting of the following, courtesy of Birdguides.com

Latest sightings from BirdGuides, 24 Sep at 12:25

24/09 12:25 OUTER HEBRIDES : American Golden Plover, 20+ Lapland Bunting
and several Greenland Redpolls, Butt of Lewis [N]

Regards

Tony Powell
