Derby Tup Sep 2018 4:30pm, 23 Sep 2018 26,958 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup ff I used to be a member of Derbyshire County Angling Club (what had been a part of the County Council sports and social club), and we had the piscatorial rights at Wolfescote Dale. What a magnificent spot to fish (or walk or watch birds or take photos or run . . .)

bonners Sep 2018 10:52pm, 27 Sep 2018 875 posts	Quote Pin bonners DT's post reminded me, I keep seeing a pair of wheatears on my seafront runs, been there about four or five days. Also I saw a skylark this morning, but it was up in the air doing the singing territorial thing. Is that right, in September????
Derby Tup Sep 2018 1:45am, 28 Sep 2018 26,978 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup We know it’s autumn because the leaves on the trees are beginning to change colour and the nights are ‘drawing in’. However in terms of length of day versus night (and the temperature) spring and autumn are similar. Birds that breed basically ignore their plumage and to a degree their very well-being generally, so after breeding need to moult their tired and neglected feathers for new fresh feathers. I think they also go back to things they also ignore like singing. It seems odd that birds like wrens and robins are singing again now but they’ve been far too busy then too tired to do that through spring and summer but generally it’s what as birds they do normally
