"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
"I've mentioned this before, but earlier this year I saw an very odd conflict between geese and crows. Odd, because there seemed to be nothing for them to fight over. Odder, because it looked like there was a basic conflict between one crow and one goose, but there was another crow and another goose which stood there watching, like seconds at an 18th century duel."

Re: For WHO's birders
My local ones have very noisy arguments too Nurse. The only others I have seen is the crows attempting to raid the jackdaw nest in my chimney. Luckily Mr and Mrs Jackdaw were determined enough to fend the crows off. See the three chicks fledge was probably my lockdown highlight.

I've never seen a single conflict between jays and magpies and I've been watching tits like you all my life.

Re: For WHO's birders
There's always beef between the jays and mags in my garden. All the other birds get along fine.

Local hooded crow busy with a walnut in the Lidl carpark today - wish I'd had a chance to take that pic as I was parking.

"Magpies are corvids - it's probably not building a nest but something more sophisticated, and possibly sinister..."

"Saw a magpie flying with a twig in its beak the other day, seemed odd as I didn't think they nested at this time of year."

Re: For WHO's birders
"I read somewhere that the only Eurasian bird whose range lies between the pole and the Mediterranean to go extinct since the last ice age* is the Great Auk. Although some have much reduced ranges (e.g., the azure magpie, which used to range from Portugal TO Japan, but is now only in Portugal AND Japan, and a small bit of Eastern China). Great survivors. *colloquial, not technical, version"

"Hermit Road..we've had a couple of Jays in our street over the last few months, I love the shade of blue on them. Tried taking photos a few times, but they have a knack of flying off at the precise second that you think 'this'll make a good photo'"
