The seasons overlapped at Spurn Head yesterday. Starting the day wearing a fleece and jacket, I was in a t-shirt – and still comfortably warm – by late afternoon. Five swallows swooped over the water at Kilnsea Wetlands, and I saw my first fieldfares and redwings – arriving here for the winter, from Scandinavia and Russia – as they feasted, in huge numbers, on bright red hawthorn berries.
