August 24th GWC BBC tour



"The crickets felt it was their duty to warn everybody that summertime cannot last for ever. Even on the most beautiful days in the whole year - the days when summer is changing into autumn - the crickets spread the rumour of sadness and change."

E.B. White, Charlotte's Web

Overnight south winds made for a pretty slow day for migrants, although we did tally 4 species of warbler.
