"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."

"Way back, I asked about an unidentified bird with a flashing red arse. I now know what it is - a Fulvous Breasted Woodpecker."

"Sorry Kenzo but you only have to look at a staffie's jaws to know that it has been bred to fight and kill. I accept that they can make good pets, but it's that fighting physique and breeding that makes them so popular with the scum. My border terrier was attacked by a staffie and nearly killed - would have been if I'd not punched it several times in the face and put my fingers in its eyes, to get it to release its grip on my dog's throat."

Re: For WHO's birders
Sorry to be an anorak but did anyone do the RSPB birdwatch at the weekend?..we were pleasantly surprised by a flock of Redwings and Fieldfares that descended on our well stocked holly tree. The bird count was definitely down on last year -no sign of the wren or gold finches.I haven't seen a greenfinch for years - any unusual sights this year?

"Decent As a kid in the 70's was not that unusual to see LSW, GSW, greenwoodpecker, nuthatch and treecreeper in the same day. Didn't really think much of it at the time."

"Lab 9.24 Goldcrests are very unafraid of.humans they just know we lose no threat. About 10 years ago I found a dead goldcrest next to my motorbike, almost certainly it had crashed into a window somewhere between the 4th and 6th floors of where we living. Gave it a little burial with my toddler kid at the time. Rang up the old dear LMH to tell her and freakishly the same day she'd had a goldcrest kamikaze into a window. Fortunately after a few dazed minutes in her hands it fucked off to the tree tops."

Re: For WHO's birders
Pickle 1243 the lack of self awareness is worthy of academic research as is the fact that goldfinches in my garden go nowhere near the niger seed feeder which they are supposed to get addicted to and demolish the sunflower hearts instead.

"A few feet away from watching a goldcrest finding food on leaves , three occasions it was like a humming bird . A sparrow hawk also flew past me a couple of yards away about three foot off the ground , Silent glide looking for a kill before bedtime."
