Lark about for dawn chorus

The skylark is a bird everyone loves to hear, warbling excitedly as it rises into the air and signalling the coming of summer. Little wonder that in mythology and folklore it is an omen of good luck and everything positive.

You think of Samuel Ferguson’s poem: “Dear thoughts are in my mind/ And my soul soars enchanted,/ As I hear the sweet lark sing/ In the clear air of the day.”
