There I was walking along and I got that scent, that lovely musky scent you only get from poplar. It took me back to all the times I have smelt it before and all the places, gorgeous.
Then this morning a nice flock of Longtailed Tit's working along a hedgerow, chirrupping away between themselves to keep in touch while looking for food and in this case one of them being chased away by a lone Chiffchaff presumably trying to defend his Hawthorn and its invertebrates from the chirruping Longtails.
I also saw this recently, look closely can you see it. Yep its a spider but you have to squint to miss out the grass stalks. Its a wasp spider on the egg case its just put together. Marvelous piece of construction.
So Autumn is coming but all around us wildlife is going on and reminding us that's its the little things that matter and which we carry in our heads that perhaps mean the most.
