OCTOBER FEST

Still a few ouzels and bramblings in Langdon Hole last week,wheatears down to a trickle now,half a dozen young kestrels have taken up residence at Samphire Hoe,and last Thursday 9 species of butterfly were seen on the cliffs,probably their last stand I would think.Goldfinches,linnets,yellowhammers and corn buntings are flocking in the weedy margins of the arable fields on the cliffs.
