Onto the verge.

A few geese straggling down the coast but the peak of their migration seems to have past. It seems there have been fewer of them this year but that view isn't based on anything other than the flocks we've seen flying by.The UN speech the lead story on the news this morning . There's also a segment on the French President somehow getting stuck in the New York traffic but making light of it :https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CT4v2sAdHwg

Another day when the sky is busy with military planes. Over the bay we see two anti-submarine aircraft and a large four engined tanker sent to refuel them. An even bigger cargo plane flies a couple of hundred feet above the water in an unusual display of airmanship. It's not often you see a plane that low. For good measure a  Navy ship appears in the bay but it's a Fisheries Patrol Vessel which doesn't sound very bellicose. The cormorants are not best pleased to find all this activity going on. They stand on their rock outcrop and glare.

The golf tournament starts in a weeks time. Today the staff are putting up fences to stop spectators from wandering onto the course and getting close to the celebrity golfers . The sheep, so far, seem unperturbed by all the coming and going.

An extra wide load comes hurtling towards us on the road from the beach. The 'Warning Wide Load' vehicle follows on behind rather than ( as you might expect ) in front. We are forced to drive onto the grass verge.

First year medical students starting to drift into class.  This is the first time I've noticed that the lights are on in the lecture halls as we pass by in the morning. The signs of autumn are slow to appear and then they're everywhere.
