Late June in the Lake District: It felt more like late September, but the scenery and bird life were adequate compensation. The lake-front at Bowness on Windermere was notable for the flocks of feral wildfowl including Mute Swans, Canada Geese, Mallards and a single Greylag. Nearby, Song Thrush, Greenfinch and Goldfinch were all in song (with Chiffchaff and Dunnock at the back of the village). Blackbirds seemed to be everywhere. House Martins and Swallows were also common, but Swifts scarce.

"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".
