"I thought you might like this video.



It's a compilation of different birds singing. Beautiful photography. If you expand the 'title' under the video it gives a list of species and the times they pop up in the video. Most of the species are familiar to us in the UK, but there are some 'exotics' (the cranes - wow, what a noise!) It was filmed in Belarus. The guy has a channel you can subscribe to. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and maybe it'll take your mind off you-know-what for a few blessed minutes."

This one delighted me yesterday. Same channel. Great grey shrikes rearing their young. Great footage of the shrike's 'larder' (small rodent prey deliberately impaled on a twiggy spike in a tree for easy access) https://youtu.be/esSYgkN4yMQ

Is this a thread by a Fat Bird?

This is brilliant. Thanks for this. Have been appreciating the birdsong more this year than ever before.

Dunno. Reckon our nurse could accommodate a fluffy backed tit babbler.

Better to give than to receive.

would you enjoy a good owling Nurse

"You missed a prime opportunity to give me an owling, Hugh!"

"nice,i will listen and view later,THankYou"

Really?? I had no idea.

"Cranes can be seen in the UK, breeders in Suffolk / Norfolk. Only seen two overhead once on the North Norfolk Coast. Once in the morning, probably the same pair back later the same day. I ain't no twitcher by the way just a country boy who knows a bit."

Yes Nurse Not many more handsome than a chaffler on the pull. Followed by a proud wood pigeon. A horny hawfinch. A whitethroat giving it large. Bloody hell a golden oriole. The shit stirring cuckoo. A not so common crane. Some else have a go.....
