Arry 21,557 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 (edited) I love this time of year trees turning colour the berries and nuts the mushrooms the start of the Rabbiting even some good sea fishing if I can fit it in. The detecting is better as well damp soil and not sweating my cobs off. Also the atmospheric mornings with the mist lying in the valleys and if your stood on a hill it looks like a White Sea with islands. Great time of the year.

Cheers Arry I love the chill autumn winds, something exciting about them. This time of year we used to get the arrival of monster salmon 'greybacks'. Every time you put your line in the water you'd be full of adrenalin and anticipation. I've never caught one,but mates have caught them over 40 pounds. Then there's the pink foot geese heralding the arrival of autumn, with ferreting, long netting and lamping on the agenda. Wish we still had proper seasons instead of just endless rain.

pesky1972 5,220 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Love seeing the crops cut, the nuts and berries on the trees and the flurry of activity as the critters get ready for the lean months ahead, but definitely not a favourite time of the year for me. Summer, if you can call it that, seems to be ever more fleeting. Feels like if it hasn’t been raining here it’s been blowing a gale. As the temperature drops and the nights draw in I always feel a bit cheated if we haven’t seen many proper sunny summer days. Give me spring and summer over autumn every day of the week. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
