Quite a pleasant day until 5pm then

Chilly start ,then a nice summer day.

Fog early, cleared and came down again (no mention on local weather forecast, nor the national one come to that). Sun later and beautiful all day long

Another lovely day here for the best part. Got rather cloudy late afternoon.

all day.

Oh deary deary moi . It is so wet and the hens are so mad ... 60F and rain stopped play .

After a wet start it eventually cleared away. Nice and sunny out at the moment.

Not a bad start to the day. Sunny up to mid afternoon then cloudy. Raining at the moment.

Toady I was having a lean-over-the-fence (Norman Evans - you have to be o-l-d to know who he was ) with my next-door and in the September sunshine amid friendly robins and gently falling leaves I happened to mention The Forum's current Chit-Chat thread about returning birds, particularly Greenfinch's Canada geese arriving a month early.
Neighbour is not a bit birdy and asked a question I wonder whether birders would even think of, "Are the early-returning birds anything to do with the hurricanes in the Caribbean ??".

I said I couldn't see the connection but thinking again later on, I'm not quite so sure ....... ....... maybe ??

I'd go as far to say the two events are totally unconnected. Hurricanes and Geese migration that is.
