Today had to return some bat detectors to our friends at Threave after our Wood of Cree Bat Walk which went very well actually saw my first Daubenton catch some insect of the surface of the water. Anyway as I pulled up I noted the hirundines massing, they were mainly Sand Martins with a few swallows. A spectacle at any time but against a rare almost blue sky it struck me how much like a piece of sheet music they looked and wondered if they could be turned into crotchets and quavers and notes and make a ballad or song of the terrible summer we have had in D&G.
If you see a picture of autumn please do post it.
