"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."

I'm pleased to say that the Robins that I put back into the nest after knocking the box off the wall all made it and have left the nest.

Heard a cuckoo yesterday.

"Yes, remember that as a youngster . Few moons ago now Mr Ted ."

Yeah I saw that a while back lab they also after a while take them out of your hand.

Nice one Ted . If you’re anywhere near a pet shop that sells live mealy worms the parents will love them for the young uns.

I accidently knocked a bird box off the wall in my back garden last week and the young Robin chicks were on the pavement I quickly put them back in the nest and replaced the box It actually really upset me but the good news is that they must of survived as the parents are in and out feeding them.

"That's the point. Birds are a subset of dinosaurs, and dinosaurs are a subset of reptiles. So you have to define at least one of these categories in an odd way to avoid deducing birds are reptiles."

Birds are dinosaurs

Perhaps dikas realise this. Dikas and croc vs monitor lizard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFAOnPvNyQI PS No idea where monitor lizards fit into the bird-reptile family tree

Birds pose a huge problem for a consistent definition of reptiles. Because crocodiles are more closely related to birds than they are to turtles.

"We have a Robin here that gives us a song before 4:30 in the morning , and now it’s dark at 7:45 pm he/ she is at it again ."

Nurse Ratched 9:42 Sun Mar 6 Wow. Big mistake. The chimney Jackdaws are back - noisy argument this morning as to which pair gets the nesting spot.

Garden I was at yesterday there are already great tits and blue tits busy building nests in the boxes.

The mob of goldfinches who frequent the park outside my office returned this week. Nice little sign of spring being on the way. Lovely little birds are goldfinches.

"That's brilliant, something about gaining a bird's trust to the point they do something like that."

Driving home yesterday at dusk I saw a lonesome heron flying over the road and across the fields.

"Crassus, can vouch for them storing food. Occassionaly have them 'rooting around' right outside the bedroom window in the early hours. Really wish they could stash their supplies further up the f'ing garden..."
