Pink sky in the morning - must be time to go out fishing.

A total of 8 Skylark & a Mipit south are getting a bit late for autumn passage considering no cold weather to force movement. 2 Ringos on the beach suggest that the mild conditions is giving them time to come back to the nesting sites to check that it is still here. Otherwise it's the mid-December doldrums.
