I heard it, I heard it!

I always feel February, March and April are spring months, followed by May June July being the summer, and as harvesting begins in August that makes that month, followed by September and October, belonging to the autumn. Winter is November December and January.

It's years since I've seen lapwings....are they at risk?

How wonderful - but I fear for them if we finally get real winter weather.

m0nica you've reminded me to take a walk to fields where I've heard them before. Unfortunately one area of fields where skylarks sang has been built on - such a loss.

Lovely! I really enjoy the robins' singing on my way to work early morning. And I heard the first songthrush of the year the week before last.

Part of MrBaggs' DPhil thesis was about lark singing – in particular when they were being chased by a predator. He reckoned it was their way of telling the hawk how fit they were and to go and chase a different bird. Certainly the ones that sang while being chased tended not to be caught.

How lovely! ❤️ I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a lark sing, or set eyes on one, come to that.

The other day some large birds caught my eye as we were driving along and I realised they were red kites. We do have them in this area of Scotland but I have never seen so many in one place and by the way they were flying, I think they must have been aware that Valentines Day is coming up!

We used to walk a lot many years ago and the sound of larks singing is one of my favourite memories.
The Lark Ascending is such a beautiful piece of music and so evocative of the real thing.
Thank you M0nica

How life affirming M0nica !
I dont know if I've heard a lark singing in the wild.
Going to put my Vaughan William's CD on now.

What a lovely cheery post M0nica thank you for sharing

Beautiful Monica, appreciating Mother Nature at its best .

There is hope! What a great morning.
