A walk along the river this afternoon found four Stock Doves feeding on the ground and a single bird singing from a tree top. I noticed something about Stock Doves which I have noticed before - when they fly, they appear more "front-heavy" than the similar Feral Pigeons, as if they are leaning forward. Less regular species recorded included Nuthatch, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Kingfisher, all for the second day running. Singing warblers consisted of four Blackcaps and two Chiffchaffs, the latter accompanied by "hooweet" calls at both sites. Flowering plants included Wild Garlic, Garlic Mustard and Lunaria (Honesty).

"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".
