Today's exercise walk took in Arkleston Farm, Arkleston Cemetery and Honeybog Hill (for wonderful, panoramic views). Best birds of the walk were three Canada Geese at the first location, Yellowhammer (at the latter two), Reed Bunting (in the tiny reed bed at Cockles Loan), four Fieldfares in the cemetery, several singing Skylarks and several (presumably transiting) Meadow Pipits. I also discovered a flooded feld corner which held a pair of Coot, a pair of Mallard, at least one Moorhen and two Black-headed Gulls. A Red Fox was slinking along by the railway and two Grey Squirrels were in the cemetery. The square total was 26 with Mallard, Coal Tit and Chiffchaff being additions to my previous square list. Moorhen, Coot, Yellowhammer and Meadow Pipit were new for the Barshaw/Oldhall square.

"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".
