Bird of the Week
September is a month of transition not just for us but also for the birds. The early part of this month marks a transitional period across the UK where summer breeding birds prepare to depart and visitors for the cooler months ahead begin to arrive, and resident species take advantage of ripening autumn hedgerows.
Most birds begin to start munching on berries as the insect numbers begin to drop or you'll find them sticking up at bird feeders before they fly south for some warmer weather.
This is the time of year we'll start to see Swallows and House Martins gathering in large, noisy flocks on telephone wires and over open fields before making their long journey south to Africa! (You can't blame them really!?)
Whatever you're up to over the weekend and wherever you're flying off to - the Wylde birds hope you have a wonderful one!
