The improved weather tempted several bird species into song this morning including Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Wren, Starling, Collared Dove and Woodpigeon. Unusual for the garden were six House Sparrows with two Greenfinches (House Sparrows are common a few streets away but hardly ever stray into my estate). The Chaffinches and Greenfinches are suddenly much more colourful as they have acquired their breeding colours. Mallards (a very good 34 in total) were congregating on the river at the bottom of the garden with a fair amount of display taking place. A single Kingfisher was also present.

"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".
