One week on and another Dawn Chorus beckons. It is 0335 and the birds ar already in full song in preparation for the arrival of those bold enough to get up at this time! It is a little warmer this week and there is a fairly stiff breeze but this does not seem to be putting off the birds. Song Thrushes, Blackbirds, Robins, Wrens, Skylark, Reed and Sedge Warblers, Redshank, Lapwing and even the Cuckoo are proclaiming their territories in the darkness.

This is what a Skylark would look like if you could see it in the dark..... (Barry Jackson)
