smelling autumn

[paulchandler6]

Definitely Autumnal, the first Meadow Pipits heard today passing over, very cool morning, slight mist, heavy dew. Leaves slowly changing colour, Rowan begining to loose leaves.

Westonbirt is a must next month, the colours of the maples are outstanding.

Can anyone else smell the change first thing ?

Definitley; the early morning mist can be seen on the brown fields now where i live, that slight chill in the mornings has returned and the smell of coal fires are more predominant

Ooh yeah! If enough people are interested maybe we could have a WAB outing?

There was a big flock of Long Tailed Tits in my garden this morning, what a bunch of hooligans!

Yes, I too 'smell' the seasons changing and the mornings of late have had that crisp clean smell of autumn in the air.
