Autumn is the time when birds move south and on some days there are thousands of swallows and house martins flying low over the cliffs feeding on insects. Overcast and muggy days can be the best to see this spectacle as large flocks gather together before attempting the journey across the sea.
Grassland fungi are a feature in the autumn and the golden wax caps are good indicators of old grassland that has not been disturbed by ploughing. Other mushrooms to be seen are puffballs and field mushrooms growing in the fields.
