Nature Notes

[poliphilo]

Birds are using the feeders very little right now. I suppose this is because (a) it's autumn and there's plenty of food out there in the world and (b) they're not feeding chicks any more.

Wasps are dying all over the place.

I sit in the corner of the field and listen to the beech nuts falling round me.

I'd never thought of eating them. I must give it a go.

I had a look today- and all I could find were empty husks. The squirrels must have been having fun.
