46. Thunder ceases

23-27 September

Autumn equinox - Thunder ceases
Some leaves turn yellow


Autumn equinox - day and night of equal length
Apples litter the ground
Shrivelled blackberries on the bushes.

18-22 September


White dew - Swallows leave
House martins leave


Swallows departed, sand martins remain
Beech mast and sycamore wings falling.
First conkers

42. Rice ripens

2-7 September

Limit of heat - Rice Ripens
Dragonflies lay eggs on water


Late butterflies on the wing: meadow brown, red admiral, brimstone, green-veined white…
Mallards regaining winter plumage.
Blackberries ripe, rose hips fading
Himalayan Balsam seed pods pop.
