General (County) Update - 6th October 2010

  • Well, the rain has gone for now - and whilst the HYOWGE deep depression gets deeper and deeper a couple of hundred miles west of the UK in the north Atlantic, it is being kept there by a large anti-cyclone over western Europe - this in turn is dragging warm air up from the Mediterranean and we are due to hit the heady heights of 25c by the weekend - pretty good for Blighty, well into October!
  • I've seen reports of swallows in the county still and seen bats at dawn over the river mesel, so maybe there's a smidgin of summer left?
  • The winter ducks are arriving now though (wigeon and teal in the main) and the mallards on the Thames are "ducking" and mating constantly...
