For WHO's birders

[Nurse Ratched]

"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."

Fieldfare seems to occupy the same niche as the Song Thrush and is much more common around here. Tends to fly low and fast between areas of cover.

[Tomshardware]

Yes I know Nurse I was only saying that because of the style of flying.

[Nurse Ratched]

Crassus' description sounds far too big for a wagtail.

[Crassus]

"Tom Yes so I gather, if they are Trees, I'll carry on checking mate, that fieldfare, could well have been, in truth from the web I could not differentiate what I saw from either the mistle or fieldfare and not seen it since Don't think it was a wagtail mind from my searches"

[Mr Kenzo]

"If I get hold of them them Pickle, I can send over a food parcel for you and your family if you want ?"

[Hammer and Pickle]

Move into a house with no wheels and a proper roof?

[Mr Kenzo]

"Without shooting the cunts, any ideas how to stop Pigeons from doing the riverdance on your roof at 4-6am every fucking morning. Thanks in advance"

[Tomshardware]

"You're lucky to see tree sparrows. As for that bird you saw, fieldfare? Nurse may be right though. The flight sounds like a bit like a wag tail though."

[Crassus]

"Nurse thank you, I never saw the chest but the back and profile looks spot on Would they take to a suspended feeder? If so I think you have it"

[Nurse Ratched]

Crassus - mistle thrush?

[Crassus]

"Tom I am pretty sure I have Trees in the garden, marginally bigger than the House and with a brown cap rather than the grey, acts like the House with feeding and general flitting about I'll keep observing, to fully confirm, but caution that I hold no 'birding' credentials You may be able to help me - I had a bird slightly larger than a starling, brown and fawn elements in body/wings, shaped akin to a blackbird, it was feeding upon a suspended feeder, shot off when I arrived but it's flight was the most notable aspect, it bobbed up and down over 20 yd peaks as it went across the field to a hedgerow, side on would appear like a heart machine screen - unlike any other flight from the usual attendees Fascinating thing this bird business, aside of the constant shit clearing, the little buggers are swarming now and emptying five feeders a day, would do more if I refilled twice daily and I am convinced that they are watching and waiting for me to fill, and when I do swoop down whilst I am close, as if they know I am no threat"

HappIEST

[Tomshardware]

"Swifts arrived here 3 days ago, great to see and hear them."

[gph]

Didn't you once say only stupid people are happy?

[Nurse Ratched]

I haven't seen swifts yet. My woodpecker and goldfinches are back today. And my jay. This is possibly the happiest I have ever been.

[Hammer and Pickle]

Still only seen a single swallow twice this season and no swifts at all (don’t get martins here). Anyone else notice they are late?

"Tom I'm going to see, have just studied the difference and will report back It's borderline Hitchcockian out there at the moment"

[Tomshardware]

Coal tits are up there as one of my favourite birds. Has anyone seen any tree sparrows? I don't think I've ever seen one.
