A quick walk along the Cart this afternoon only produced the usual singing Chiffchaff. Two Goldfinches were in the Poplar trees along the railway line near the Cat and Dog Home. News from the web is that the satellite-tracked female Osprey is still taking her time (moving slowly through South East England) even though her mate is on territory in Moray. These studies are giving some fascinating insights into the bird's behaviour - the need for returning birds to feed up (to get into breeding condition) after arrival on territory, the patience (or otherwise) of early returners as they wait for their mates to arrive, the effects of weather on migration and so on).

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
