Went to the red kite feeding station at bellymack farm today. For whatever reason, after an hour an a half, they just weren't interested in the meat. Two 10 second bursts of swooping when the farmer let their dog grab some of the meat, but otherwise they just circled. Still got to see 50/60 birds though.

One of the red kites from yesterday. And a red squirrel was down eating the peanuts I put out so quite happy.

Is there an absolute bumper crop of acorns this year? It seems to me that there are mounds of them underneath loads of oak trees, round here at least. I don't remember seeing so many before, but it could just be that I am paying more attention this year.
Cetti's warbler on my run just now, and what struck me as a very late in the year dragonfly.

I’ve been occasionally collecting and planting them. Not the first year I’ve done it and not certain I’ve noticed any more this year. Though I have to say on both runs yesterday I noticed one or two huge piles of acorns.

Ooh waxwings. Here in the inner city they stayed for about a week at a school with delicious berries and buds. Wonder when they'll get down south ...
