Cheers. Nik.

I found a huge one a few days ago, hiding in the bathroom hand towel when I dried my hands - you probably heard me scream.

Street lights have been coming on around 8pm.
How depressing is that?!

Loads of berries on the Rowan trees this year:

Yes, I've noticed more berries acorns etc than usual. Is it an old wives tale that we'll get a hard winter??

Butterflies are disappearing by the day. Yep, autumn is coming, birding skills are being honed in preparation (though will have to make do () with WAB atm as (sob) my bins (sob) are in for repair (sob, sob)).

Yep tegenaria here too, just seen the first of the season and it's a BIG rugger!

First nice day in a while here, saw a lovely speckled wood and a small tortoiseshell. Still seeing lots of seven spot ladybirds too.

Starlings and blackbirds have cleared all the rowans in the little bit of waste ground behind my garden already. I have nothing against them doing this but I was hoping to see some waxwings there this year, oh well.

Same here, flying with Swallows.
