Still local but a longer walk today as I'm starting to feel better. Lots of birds singing between the showers including three Stock Doves. A Nuthatch and a Treecreeper were good finds in a tit flock. After yesterday's big, black bird (a Cormorant), today produced another, in the form of a Raven. It appeared from the northeast heading purposefully southwest (no doubt towards the nearest local breeding site which is in a neighbouring monad). A few Carrion Crows perched in the treetops saw it coming and cawed a few times but they seemed to lack the commitment to rise to challenge it.

"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".
