Autumn 2025

​

After the hot summer, the autumn has seemed slow to come. Temperatures have remained reasonably high, but now, at the end of October, the autumn colours are showing well. Conkers were plentiful but the modern child does not seem to appreciate them as we did as children. We are still, in October, seeing the odd butterflies, Speckled Wood and Red Admiral. Birds are quiet at this time. The summer residents have gone and  the winter visitors are starting to arrive.

​

Salisbury Council Parks department have done their usual good work, cutting the grass around the meadow. We thank them for their continued support.

​

The river Nadder and the meadow pond have been unusually low as we have had little rain. There has been a little rain recently but levels have not improved. I'm sure they will increase as winter advances.
