Update.

An item that I missed out when reporting on our walk on the 30/8/09, Emily found a small dead Adder on the coast path approx 9" long , it was the object of much interest particularly on how soft the skin was almost like velvet, Josh wanted to take it home, vetoed by dad !.

Autumn migration is now getting underway, there were severall Chiffchaffs in the garden today at midday.

A beautifull moon last night, lit up the whole valley and the Tawny Owls seemed to like it, much calling going on. A young Frog in the garden today was a nice sight, they do not seem to be as common as the Toads.
