Skylark exception

As the weather becomes warmer, the fruit swells and I am now harvesting raspberries by the pound. The landscape changes colour as the wheat begins to ripen and the late to be cut meadows lose their intense green, AND the birds tend to stop singing. The robins in my garden have lost their colour as the moult begins to take effect; blackbirds and thrushes skulk amongst the dense hedgerows hiding from predators as their flying powers are diminished. The only real exception is the skylark, many of which are continuing to soar high above the fields filling the air with their song.
