Saturday 15th September
Dry bright morning so off I went again, but this time with the big lens, about time I gave it an outing, straight to the stump this morning, all seed had gone again so filled it up, saw greenfinches, robins, great tits and magpies close by.
Had a stroll along Stonechat's Lane, but very quiet along there, did notice lots of rubbish sprinkled about.
Lunch and popped out again, first to Captain's where there was a single swan and a buzzard over the back, I fully expect the swan to have moved on by morning though.
Pics of the swan cleaning and drying itself.
Buzzard, probably near to 100 yards away.
Found this pod on our clematis, seems we also have a chocolate vine and this is a seed pod from it, very unusual.
Friday 14th September
Four walks today all around the Spennells area, weather was fair, but could have done with a touch more sunshine.
All the seed had gone from the stump, filled it up and it had gone again after lunch.
Saw a flock of about 12 greenfinch up top, fair few common blues about along with some very fresh looking Brown Argus and Small Coppers.

A really nice start to the day, walked up to Captain's which was very quiet, had walk up field to the stump where I left some seed and nuts, hoping it will soon be busy there again soon.
Then walked along the top and down by Pirates wood which is where I spotted this little fella.
Coelichneumon deliratorius
I also saw about 8 yellowhammers together, spotted couple of buzzards and quite a few other common birds, saw approx six small coppers, quite a few speckled woods and large whites.
I did collect a bit of sunflower seed, will be sewing some in the garden next year.
After lunch it clouded up quite a lot and I didn't go back out.
