The living story
The story so far
A Eurasian skylark who sings while climbing straight up into the sky until he is a speck, still singing. He pours out an unbroken ribbon of song for minutes at a time, hovering on fluttering wings. Poets have been trying to describe it for centuries. He keeps making it harder.
Happening now
He is pouring out the ribbon over the meadow right now. The meadow is holding its breath.
What may come
He will sing higher this year. The sky, witnesses say, is not ready.

Why someone keeps Lark
- because he climbs into the sky singing until he is a speck, and you keep the one who goes higher
- because poets have tried for centuries to describe it and he keeps making it harder, and you admire the difficulty
- because his song is an unbroken ribbon, and you want to hold one end
The Dawn Chorus
The songbirds: nightingales, lyrebirds, thrushes, and wrens — the musicians whose dawn performance the whole world sets its clock by.
