Singing Skylark

Although it was a damp dismal day, and there was no sign whatsoever of the local skylarks, one was singing on the hill at Nettlestead this morning. Perhaps it is because I am situated at the foot of the North Downs and therefore temperatures tend to be a little lower that the skylarks are yet to begin establishing their breeding territories.

Anyway, it was great to hear a sound that I associate most with summer and although this is said to be a declining species ion the UK there remains a very healthy population in this part of Kent.
