A notable event took place on Monday...that I thought I'd share with you! We're now in an "unsettled" period of Weather typical of this time of year. As I drove up Seaside in the rain, I noticed a large group of hirundines feeding low in the lee of the trees. I pulled over and scanned and it became apparent they were ALL House Martins! Numbers were difficult to estimate but a conservative total would be 100. A glance back over the adjacent meadow revealed at least the same again!! This is by far the largest flock I've seen since moving here in 2011.
The Forecast for the Weekend is promising for the East Coast. I may have to apply myself fully to a Seawatch!?
