"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."

"Earily should be a word. For when there's a lot of noise you can't hear. Earily quiet, but the meter's showing the whales are making a racket in the subsonic."

"Wrens are panick stricken birds, their song is beautiful. Blackbirds are a old favourite of mine. But the robin has a special place in my heart."

Few magpies had a decent scrap in my garden earlier. Caused a bit of a ruckus to be sure. I don’t like corvids though so if I lived in the country and they were up to that they would be dispatched to bird heaven via a shotgun pellet or 10.

"No bird going near the caged bird table, I think they have freaked out, scared of the transformation in their environment. I guess they’ll get used to it. Have to say my favourite bird in these parts is called a puput, (hoopoe in English = Upupa epops) they look a bit like a jay gone wrong, nice looking bird, but what I really like is they come every spring to eat the processionary caterpillars that come down from the pine trees. These caterpillars are poisonous, give me and my dogs allergies, fucking hated them and love anything that eats them."

Might be dunnocks. They are everywhere as well. I'd describe their song as 'scratchy.'
