"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."

*giggles at great tits*

I did the RSPB BGB My hour's count was as follows: 9 goldfinches 5 greenfinches 2 robins (obviously a courting pair because there was no aggression) 4 great tits 3 blue tits 2 mags 1 woodpigeon 1 great spotted woodpecker 1 blackbird 2 jays 2 ring necked parakeets

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?

Crassus - my old man was born in Bromsash/Linton. Great part of the world

Crassus - Ross-on-Wye.

Oh my word...

"50 starlings on your fatballs, eh? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-norfolk-55870828"

Had a mob of about 30 starlings on my fatballs yesterday. Lovely winter plummage on them.

Throw in about a dozen bullfinch as well.

"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."

"Exile - Wye Valley I'm hugely envious, stunning part of the world, which part?"

"The other day I saw a nice triumvirate of greater spotted woodpecker, nuthatch and tree creeper, near where I live in the Wye Valley."

Has Scurf Face had his Winterwatch Wanker yet?

lose = pose

"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."

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.

Side of Ham 12:53 Thu Jan 21 'you know this Pickle so stop being a cսnt' Good luck with this request fella.

"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."

Bullfinches often heard and seldom seen along the Wid vallley

"Joe Royal 12:51 Did it make a loud SPLATT? Nurse, I saw a flock of about 30 goldies the other day. Haven’t seen a bullfinch for ...dunno...decades!"

*rarely your pet

"Kenzo, just took his dog for a run out that his dog needs to have, he deliberately went out early In the hope he would avoid confrontation with other animals but unfortunately on this occasion nature was cruel even by the fact badgers are night creatures so it should have been safe in it‚Äôs set. I am always sad to hear nature take it‚Äôs deadly role when it seemed unnecessary but by having dogs as pets and keeping them from forming packs limits this event taking place. Once a dog gets a sniff they are back to instinct and rarely your anymore, you know this Pickle so stop being a cսnt looking to make things worse than they are because you are disliked & mocked on here, YOU built this situation by your own sick posting history."
