It's been a somewhat odd spring/summer. Usually by now there are lots of robins, waking me up in the false dawn with their tuneless song. Now it is a crow, and although I have heard robins around, I have not been able to take a photo of one yet.
Other differences:
- The wood ducks seem to have vanished. Usually they hang around a specific part of the river for most of the summer.
There are fewer Blue Jays. Again, I've seen one or two, and heard them, but usually they are around the house making their raucous calls.
There are less Compton Tortoiseshells around, but I gather last summer was an exceptional one for that species. I have also seen fewer Mourning Cloaks, though both species have been seen this spring. Butterflies in general seem to be less common.
There have been two may fly emergence's. They look superficially similar, but the latest one is a little bit smaller than the earlier one.
