The skylarks on the lower fields were very active yesterday. A couple of cocks were singing away in full voice, the first time I have seen them flying so high this year. Others were chasing each other, clearly male birds chasing hens. After a minute or so of chasing, the hen would suddenly drop to the ground and the male would hover over her at about six feet from the ground.
All this was happening on a cold dank day.
