Things I've noticed recently:
- Autumn is drawing in: it's colder, windier and would be wetter too if August hadn't been so atypically rainy!
- Mushrooms of all types are springing up everywhere.
- Jays are still fairly evident.
- Coal tits and greenfinches have been in the garden for the first time in a long time. This is probably specific to my garden mind you.
- Fruit continues to fall from the trees – many of the apples and damsons in my garden have hit the ground before I managed to pick them.
- It seems to have been a bit of a bad year for wasps – i.e. I don't remember there being that many about at any point, perhaps due to the weather. Or maybe I've just not got outside as much this summer.
- The mix of rain, sun and reasonable warmth has meant grass growing at an incredible rate.
