For WHO's birders
"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."

"Otters are the true bastards Utter nonsense of a mismanaged re-introduction and the evil fuckers a re running wild Everything is fair game from swans, warblers, kingfishers etc to any kind of fish from record barbel, massive carp to ornamentals in private gardens to fish farmers and garden centres Strangely, they have not read the green cross code - plenty around my way seem to be found as road kill Can't think why ;)"

"A huntin',shootin' fishin' neighbour has a large fishpond with Koi carp in it. I asked him one day ""Don't you have problems with Herons?"" ""Only once"""

"we were interested in signing a 19 year old PLYMOUTH striker named Paul Mariner but thats history,unlike this thread which is hysterical,"
Re: For WHO's birders
The heron has a special place in gank's heart. Like the albatross in the heart of the ancient mariner.

Re: For WHO's birders
I like herons as well. What you got against herons Tom? Are you a fishfarmer? I heard they annoy fishfarmers.

Herons have their ecological niche. Humans should never impose their values on those with feathers and that includes pikey feral skanky fucked up toed pigeons.

"gph 5:27 Sat Mar 6 I saw that as well gph, they said normal life expectancy of an albatross is 30-40 years. I guess our seventy year old albatross hen having a chick would be the equivalent of a 120 year old woman having a kid!"

I now cherish the sight or song of the chaffinch as it seems rather these last few years.

Crassus Indeed. That was going to be my next suggestion if 'bullfinch was blown out.

"Nurse, just had a look at photos of them and think you're right, the ones I saw resembled the photos of female bullfinch I've just seen. Cheers."

Re: For WHO's birders
"Sat in the garden and in a tree quite nearby, not quite close enough to see clearer, there's 6 or 7 birds the size of a robin and with a red breast but they're definitely not robins. They're chippey little fellas and flittering all over the tree. Anyone know what type of bird it could be?"
