| The easterly winds of the last few days finally produced the goods today,
with a superb male BLACK LARK in Norfolk, in Winterton North Dunes.
Present from mid afternoon, it showed well, and was even heard to sing briefly.
On Fair Isle, Shetland, another mega lark, in the form of a Calandra Lark,
was present this afternoon.
