As summer begins to shade into autumn, the warblers have fallen silent and the marsh is a much quieter place. The wind whispers in the reeds, circling buzzards mew, house martins chirrup as they hawk. The plant life is still riotous, with hemp agrimony and purple loosestrife adding colour. Berries ripen, seeds mature, thistledown drifts

Morning walk & birdwatch @ Fishlake Meadows, peak warbler season with whitethroat, garden & sedge warblers all in full throat. A hobby perched motionless in a dead poplar. The reed beds golden with yellow flag iris. Bees buzzing in the hawthorn & comfrey

Quick visit to #FishlakeMeadows in Romsey after work tonight, lots of singing warblers & 2 very active cuckoos calling & flying around. Large flock of screeching swifts hawking over the open water but no sign of osprey or hobby. Vegetation looking lush, air heavy with the scent of #hawthorn blossom

Heavy rains over the weekend have flooded this path through Fishlake Meadows nature reserve. Increased level of birdsong even during the day, with chiffchaffs & wrens singing every few yards. Buzzards mewing & displaying overhead. Water rails screeching from the reed beds.
