Songbirds on the starboard bow

[bunn]

I saw a lot of larks on my morning walk today, and it struck me that normally you don't see larks much - you only hear them, singing high overhead.   But these larks seemed to have lost their cloaking devices, and were quite obvious, flying straight up while singing a song that sounded very much like the noise that 'Space Invaders' use to make.   dit dit dit pwee! pwee! dit dit dit dit, zoing zoing zoing -  PWEE PWEE PWEE!!!

I also heard the cuckoo calling.  A LOT.  No wonder cuckoos have to outsource their chickcare arrangements, they have no time for anything but CUCKOO!

Ah, I'm not the only one who thinks skylarks sound like video games in the sky!
