"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."

There’s a sharp skinned hawk which stalks my bird feeder. Every couple of months I’ll find the remains of a small bird that’s basically been exploded and the remains consumed.

"FFS will you pair of cunts fuck off and pollute the rest of the board - thank you Nurse, I saw an amazing thing a couple of days back I'm up in North Bucks, backing onto rolling fields, so am lucky enough to have all sorts in the garden and red kites that have followed the Chilterns from their re-introduction, regularly riding the thermals above I have an array of feeders beneath a large eucalyptus and hedge arrangement, attracts masses of small birds Its not uncommon to see a sparrowhawk take a starling but whilst watching a flight of long tails swoop in there was sudden squawkage from every where and the tit flight broke like a grenade, with that a kite swooped from the side, no more than 12 ft up and took a bird in flight, on the turn - all underside plumage at full wing width, no more than 20 ft from me, as it veered to avoid the tall foliage and roared up like a Dornier and away to an old oak down the field to consume it's prey Most unusual for a kite to do that, big birds but they have neither the beak nor foot strength to do that routinely - stunning sight mind and I bet I don't see that again"

"A couple of mistle thrushes have commandeered the cotoneaster hedge in our back garden. There are still a few hundred berries on it and even when the thrushes have had their fill, they sit on the nearby fence and chase off any other birds that try to feed there."

Not birds this time but the first yellow crocus appeared in my little wildflower meadow today and some daffs are beginning to come up too.

Just saw a Greater Spotted Woodpecker on my afternoon constitutional. Lovely - one of my favourite birds.

"Swiss is so involved in wanking off over Disney vids that he hasn't considered the possibility of 'having looked at and noticed what goes on with the shrub (tree, both?) leylandii without being a twitcher' . Not that there's a thing wrong with being a twitcher. The yellow-anoraked, satchel-carrying, sandal-wearing, emotionally-retarded, tinfoil-hat-wearing, 'confirmed bachelor', UFO-spotting, thick, no-mark twat."

"BTW, twice in the last week I have walked past a front hedge in London which has been full of sparrows tweeting loudly. Haven't particularly noticed sparrows much for years so this was pretty exciting and unusual round here."

"The only bird I've ever seen that's tough enough to nest in a leylandii is woodpigeon (yes, auto spell correct, woodpigeon, you cսnt). Plenty of creepy-crawly moths, beetles, flies, spiders and other shit though. Ghastly Johnny Foreigner impatient bastard stuff. No-one wants to overlook you anyway, you boring cunts."
