"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
"Hello. A young great tit came into my sitting room for his live mealworms a little while ago. Great tits mostly grab and go, compared to the robins who show more curiosity in the humans and surroundings. However, this young great tit chap stuck around a good 5-10 minutes, barely touching the worms, and doing the avian equivalent of panting. I think he needed the shade. Please be kind and put out SHALLOW dishes of water for the birds in your gardens today, unless you have a cat. Thank you."

Re: For WHO's birders
Currently ensconced on the south coast of the Isle of Wight. We're overlooking the sea across a barley field..we were delighted to see an osprey hovering over the field this evening. The local press have been touting it as a western osprey although my bird book doesn't mention it .Apparently they had a pair hatch in Poole harbour this year.That's one to tick off

Re: For WHO's birders
"That’s a fair point gph. I’ve known the cat in question for years now, ever since he was a kitten, he used to spend hours watching me gardening. He’s in his later years now and more often than not off his nut on catnip, so I do respect the fact that he’s still “got it”. Just wish he’d stick to mice… ( the robins have been back, the dunnocks haven’t :("

Re: For WHO's birders
Anyone see the hedgehog eating those Skylark chicks on Springwatch? Never knew they would predate birds.

Re: For WHO's birders
"Have had a pair of dunnocks visit pretty much daily for the last few weeks. Really pretty birds with a way about them. Also get a pair of robins coming for mealy worms each day. The neighbours cat who on average seems to take out no more than a couple birds a year, was finishing off one yesterday morning. Unidentifiable. The thought that it’s one of the dunnocks or robins has really pissed me off."

"This morning I was at Marble Bay inGuernsey . I could hear a fuss on the high rocks over to my right , an oyster catcher was chasing a crow away , the thing was this crow I believe was a decoy . Another crow swooped on the rocks a carried off a young chick from the wading birds nest . This happened twice while I was there ."

Re: For WHO's birders
"Humans don’t share their living quarters with wild birds for a perfectly good reason - birds cannot be toilet trained and basically shit everywhere. It is insanitary and, as I discovered when researching into having a pet owl, pretty much impossible to manage indoors if you want to live like a civilised human being. So the social services will surely take an interest when the neighbours alert them about the sanitary hazard; hopefully it really all is just you slipping into the arena of the unwell as you lose sense of the difference between what is in your head and what happens in the real world."
