Three Swifts were hawking over the woods opposite the house this afternoon. This is the third day running that I have seen them. The local conifers seem to be full of juvenile Starlings (judging by the sound emanating from them) so I assume a mass fledging has taken place (I am assuming the same for House Sparrows which are suddenly everywhere in numbers).

"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".
