counting coots

No, really - full on proper vis-mig.  Not just Woodpigeons chuffiing over all about the place that may or may not be from round here but summer birds moving in a southerly direction one after the other.

Swallows they were too, which are pretty unusual in this locale, making it more special.  First six flew over Hurlingham Park to Wandsworth park, then three, then one then three more and two more.  That's like, loads.

Proper visible migration at the end of September.  Lovely.
