"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
"https://youtu.be/ruaGD3UiXoE This is extraordinary. A pair of pigeons decides to squat in the nest of a pair of barn owls with 7 nestlings in situ. The female pigeon even lays an egg. It all ends as you would predict, but goodness me, it's very strange. I wonder how often this sort of thing happens. Also, baby barn owls...Arf!"

Re: For WHO's birders
I've worked out how to grow the Himalayan blue poppies. Every time West Ham win I'll be scattering two of the seeds in random parts of the garden. Eat your heart out Monty Don and Petra (or whatever the BBC dogs called now)

Re: For WHO's birders
My mother had a wooden thingy next to her front door with a pair of tits on it with her house number.

Re: For WHO's birders
Saw a Red Kite for the first time from my garden today. Buzzards a commonplace here but it was good to see that forked tail. They must be migrating southwards. This is the best example of reintroduction I can think of.

Re: For WHO's birders
This is a nice thread and it’s right that someone like you who has a pair of great tits sometimes out in the garden has started it !

This is a nice thread for bird and nature lovers. We don't bring our WHO feuds in here.

Re: For WHO's birders
"I've seen almost nothing of the breeding pair of adult robins since they fledged their last brood. One of the adults, looking really ragged and moulting, continued to visit my sitting room for mealworms, but far less frequently and not at all for the last 2 weeks or so. In their place they have left one of their fledgies. It appears this is my garden's new resident robin, because no others come close enough to be spotted. Unlike both his parents, who behaved submissively towards the great tits, this fledgie, though still a young'un, is taking NONE of their shit. He is feisty, utterly manic in his activity, and amusingly rather dim. Still growing into his powers, earlier today he managed to land on a saucer of mealworms arse-first. I have christened him Bullet."
