Autumn beckons

For the last few days there has definitely been a whiff of autumn in the air.  Nights are now noticeably drawing in and once the sun sets, temperatures fall quite rapidly.  I spent yesterday aftenonn in my marsh hide and when I exited I couldn’t believe how cold it was.  Straight on with the fleece!  We have had a good summer here in the south.  July and August has been very good indeed and as I write this it’s 22 degrees outside.  But, I have to say, I am not a great lover of the hot days of summer, unless I’m laying on the beach with a cold bear in my hand!  I’m really looking forward to autumn now with all it brings…photographing fungi, rutting deer, morning mists and the influx of wetland birds.  Plus, getting up for sunrise ain’t half as difficult.

On the downside, just like spring, it’s all over too quickly so I’m determined to make the most of it, whatever the weather.
