Today these starlings gathered on the wires. Normally I'd not take much notice of this but yesterday a report came out that even though its the first few days of July, autumn seems to be happening early. I thought about this as around 150 starlings covered the wires and then fell like a black waterfall into the field. Looking at the photograph later there are a lot of juvenile starlings here, presumably a good breeding season then. Seeing the gathering flocks is another indicator of nature's wheel of the year. Funnily enough yesterday I had to break through a garden spider web to exit the garden. Spring has been early this year so it makes sense that autumn will be early. Certainly apart from one day in early June I can't remember when it last rained. Given that the winter was the wettest on record, maybe summer will be one of the driest.
Certainly the sunset tonight was a pure 'Shepherd's Delight' moment.... fine day tomorrow then.
