"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
"Zeb, a flock of great and blue tits must be a sight to behold. You’ve all inspired me to get the seed on the table early and see what the day holds."
Re: For WHO's Birders
Crows know GPH - that is why. They are allied to the Russians and Chinese. Their beady eyes are all knowing. Their beaks are streamlined to fuck. Their plumage is black as deepest space. They are just waiting for us to not be looking - and they will fucking swoop and peck into us through our most vulnerable area - our noses: they will peck our fucking noses in mate: leave them looking like an inverted glove
Re: For WHO's Birders
"Why have I got an explosion in crow numbers? Instead of better singers? Crows in ones and twos are fairly silent, but in larger gatherings they get very vocal. And they get up about four hours before me. I admire their intelligence, but they are beginning to annoy me now."
Re: For WHO's Birders
"Done a little bit of birding myself this day. I composed these lines the better to tell you all about it - I espied a most wondrous site earlier upon the larch tree, Blackbirds - three were consorting Cohorting and planned to swoop Into my garden amongst my fruit Patch out the back: bastards - I shot them - with a blunderbuss crack."

Re: For WHO's Birders
"Nurse 1022 Amazing you've not seen one for 25 years. When I was in Brixton Hill our flat overlooked a car park with a paltry amount of greenery. Would get the occasional blue tit and great tit., blackbirds there were good singers. Pied wags and the very occasional grey wag on the flat roof of a storage unit. A wren belting out wren tunes was most welcome. On the other side of the road a fair few trees on at most 30 metres wide piece of land, probably being a remnant of common land I would think. Occasionally in winter immense charms of goldfinches on that the like of which I've never seen in the sticks.Easily 200 plus and maybe close to double that. Once found a dead goldcrest next to my motorbike there, must have flown into a window on the 4th, 5th or 6th floor. Just seeing a cheeky flyover cormorant was something living there."

Re: For WHO's Birders
"Lovely, gentle things. I was really pleased to hear a great tit recently. Although they're very common, it's the first time I had ever heard one on my street and I've lived here for 25 years."

"In the real world in isolation Spain, a long way from that sad cսnt, the sparrows are taking full advantage of a collared dove free bird table."
