One of the highlights of this spring has been the song of the local Chaffinches. At least four males have set up territories in my home 1km square and have been singing every day for the last week or more. The other highlight has been the annual drama surrounding the nesting attempts of the local Moorhens. Two pairs on Rosshall Park Pond (one of which lost at least one newly hatched chick to a Grey Heron a week ago) had broods of two and four on Friday but only one and three today. Yesterday, another pair were trying to escape the attentions of a cat under the farm bridge and a fourth pair were shepherding a brood of 5 under the school bridge.

"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".
