Sky Lark or Nightingale?

Sky Lark?

Actually neither!

As you can see from the jaunty tail –

Nightingale?

It is my old nemesis, the Olive Thrush; Larking about in the Sky at Night!

Olive Thrush 1

He is the first to sing in the pitch black long before dawn. and the last to sing as the shadows lengthen and night falls. He makes the most of the day – and night!

Olive Thrush 2

This is about the only time he is quiet: when he has his mouth stuffed full of food!

Singing, “I’m too cheeky for this post!”
