"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."

Re: For WHO's birders
"My local host of sparrows are much larger in number than they were last year. Also have very noisy wrens nesting in the hedge. Their song is easily recognisable and it remains a wonder how such a small bird can make so much noise. The blackbirds at dusk were noisy too and what with the bats back and the tawny owls still shouting at each other all is good,"

There seems to be very little on the internet about pissed-up birds*. *with feathers

"Coal tits - that's what they are. I'd forgotten and couldn't work out why they were too small to be great tits and not blue enough to be, well, blue."

"Arf! Good job. My garden this morning is TIT CITY. Frequent stand-off between coal tits, blue tits, robins and great tits over the mealworms. To be fair the mealworms been soaked for 48 hours so are extra succulent."

Re: For WHO's Birders
Neighbour’s cat just tried to off it with a nesting magpie pair. That went well.
Re: For WHO's Birders
"In recent days, I've taken to walking the dog on the roof of our building. It's a flat roof, in case you're wondering, and offers a panoramic view of other roofs and tree tops. But this post is not about the skyline, but a question about parakeets. There have been solo flights as well as squadrons of the things overflying our roof -- but always on the same flight path: from northwest to southeast and vice versa. I can see no obvious reason why they choose that route. There's a river a couple of miles away and not much of interest in the other direction. Other birds don't seem to follow any route and the parrots always, without exception, take this route. Any theories why?"
Re: For WHO's Birders
The Jackdaws who were nesting in my chimney fledged this morning. All the Jackdaws in the area got together for a mass fly around (there were upwards of 50) and eventually all flew to the oak woods up the hill from me.

How about a live stream to a roosting peregrine falcon pair at Warsaw's Palace of Culture? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdezYfZdYT4&fbclid=IwAR2wCDlfEpmqI13Bv8P6A5az5ezOzhskUjynHmNAopvaPi5DD4dQ1j69sAk

Re: For WHO's Birders
"Loads of red kites where i work (Caversham), could watch them all day as they glide around effortlessly without using their wings. Also we have a couple of very industrious woodpeckers at the back of our garden,the racket they make is a wonderful sound as is the tuneful whistling of a yet unidentified bird. We have rewarded him for keeping us entertained by naming him Otis. And our mob of hedghogs have swelled their numbers,we now have ten regular spikey friends who get fed every night."
Re: For WHO's Birders
Red Kite right over my garden this afternoon. Got chased away by a couple of other birds.
