Going back a few weeks into early autumn I had a lake full of beautiful water fowl, swans, geese, etc. behind me, but what most captivated me in this moment was a small group of chiffchaffs darting around a stile. They would land, then almost immediately launch themselves again into the air to catch an insect, then land again and repeat the sequence. They were so distracted by this feeding frenzy that they weren’t at all concerned by my presence.
Next week I have a few more images I would love to share with you from the natural world around me. Some are of the insect world and others reflect the changing season as we move from autumn to winter here in Dorset. My plan is to post daily Monday to Friday, so I sign off for this week with this chiffchaff. Thank you for reading. Stay safe and I look forward to catching up on Monday.
