Summary of August 2011
Weather
The month started started with very mixed weather, some days being very wet, others quite hot and humid. By the end of the first week it was raining every day and stayed that way for the second week of August. By the third week it was a little better but still not reliable and in the last week some sun was soon followed by rain. In general a very poor summer and a poor August.
Garden
Some signs that the local birds are coming out of hiding with the Blue Tits and Great Tits returning and the Dunnock being increasingly evident. On 7th August there was a very unusual sight in the garden when a large mixed flock of birds descended on the feeders. For more on this see the entry click here.
