Took a walk around Arkleston farm this morning - it really is a hidden gem. Highlights were up to 5 singing Yelowhammers (most around the farm buildings at North Arkleston, but also one near South Arkleston), up to 5 singing Skylarks, up to 30 Swifts (feeding around one of the singing Sylarks and over the trees in the cemetery), up to 30 Swallows (including around 20 gathered together on wires) and 4 House Martins. Walked home via the "wildflower meadow" behind Selviland Road. Again, another neglected corner. Long may they both remain forgotten and undeveloped [14,000].

"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".
