"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."

"Coffee 12:05 Mon May 18 Simple explanation here https://community.rspb.org.uk/ourwork/b/natureshomemagazine/posts/swift-or-swallow My neighbour has Housemartins that return every year to nests in her eaves, which is good because I get to see them without the inconvenience of piles of bird shit on my windowsills below the nests"

"What's the difference between swifts, swallows and housemartins? Swift's had 5 number 1s in the US Billboard Chart The Swallows only a number 9 with Will you be mine in 1952 The Housemartins - Have never charted in the US but did have a UK number 1 in 1986 with caravan of Love."

"Tom Interesting that you say that, I thought the same but I reckon not I've checked the web and whilst I have dunocks, pick them up on chirpomatic too, its not them as I have had them both in the garden and the mystery birds are not grey around the head these are proper shades of brown You have though solved one thing, when I was a kid there were tree house and hedge sparrows, and I was wondering why I could not find any of what I knew to be hedges mentioned, cheers mate, everyday is a schoolday! Fo Your cd thing - I have solar lights about the garden and one day found a panel dangling from a pergola section, it had been up there for years and taken every storm throughout. The only way of removing it was by pulling it straight up from my fixings, I was mystified. Replaced the same thing happened a few days later and the detachable stem had gone but latterly found at the other side of the garden Then the penny dropped, Mags! Would have seen the sun reflecting off it and tried to have it away, so tread carefully if you head down the cd route Nurse That app is very interesting, it has a distress call identifier too, so I am picking up smaller birds squawking away whilst the mags or crows are about upon the same reading, oh and that bloody parakeet which was absent last night has returned, I am desperately trying to identify the call that is triggering the reading but it is bird bedlam out there - it is a morning thing, so parakeet or otherwise, it is evidenced then and either shuts up or buggers off thereafter"

"Being visited daily by a Jackdaw who is pushing the pigeons off the bird table. Which is fine, except at 4:30 this morning it had a very loud squawk with another Jackdaw for bloody ages, until I got up, went downstairs and scared them off. Bloody noisy buggers...."

"Crassus 5:56 Sun May 17 Morning Crass. No magpie news, I'm afraid. Found myself bimbling about on other garden chores this weekend. I have though made a connection between the magpie invasion and reinstating a birdbath recently. I read that birdbaths are a bit of a corvid magnet so I might try to reposition that in a less accessible spot of the garden. I also read that stringing up a few old cds in the trees spooks them a bit as they don't like the way they reflect the light so I might try that, the risk of my garden then resembling a tinker's yard notwithstanding.. The things we do for love. eh?"

"The only squirrel you get (= that I've seen) in these distant parts is called a Indian Palm Squirrel. It's smaller than the British grey or red, and is striped like a chipmunk. They're supposed to be friendly. I've never tried to find out. http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/may/24squirrels-1.jpg India's fairly strict lockdown has emptied normally manic city streets. That's encouraged all types of wildlife in from surrounding countryside, including monkeys, peacocks and big cats, such as this leopard that scared passers by in the southern city of Hyderabad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmXwDT2StYs"

"Crassus, could they be dunnocks? Also used to be know as the hedge sparrow. Mostly brown bird but I've never seen one on a feeder, they tend to like feeding near the ground beneath undergrowth."

"Haha, I’ll refrain from comment there my lady I did download another visual app, Bird Picture, what a load of shite that is, did it at night and so tested upon my dog - size of a German Shepard, long haired male, very similar breed appearance but coloured like a fox - poxy app came up with some form of Asian parrot! Tried it from six foot upon a house sparrow - came back with another parrot Consigned you the bin"

Re: For WHO's birders
"Glad to hear it, Crassus. I'll give that one a go myself. I tried the BirdNet one, but it told me (in the midst of loud blackbird song) that I had a Ural Owl. In broad daylight. In a garden in a grotty part of London. It said 'almost certain'. I beg leave to differ. It did cause even more amusement, however. I turned round to say something to my daughter before she went out, and it recorded me thus: ""Human. Homo sapiens. Uncertain"""
