"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
"When the buzzards fly over, the sky goes very quiet, until the crows come out and dive bomb the buzzards. It's like an aerial gunfight from WW2!! Quite a show with the crows always winning. The kites come way down very close to the garden (we have a stream at the bottom) where they are hunting for mice, rats and voles and sometimes grass snakes. There are always Kestrels hovering in the field at the back. Not a bird of course, but the bats always make a show as the sun goes down"

"zebthecat 12:05 Tue Nov 30 If you haven’t got a dog, some poison might help. Failing that, a high powered air rifle should be enough to make it seek a home elsewhere. On a more cheerful note I saw a Jay in my garden the other day. Was well happy about that."

"Haven't seen any sparrows in my garden for months and months, just seen 3 dozen plus of them fluttering all around a neighbours huge pear tree for a good half hour. Obviously something on the tree that they go nuts for this time of year."

Robins are vicious fuckers in the bird world. Very protective of their territory.

Was eating a packet of prawn cocktail discos the other day and a robin perched near me and happily ate some that I'd crumbled up for it.

"I see Ring Ouzels in Devon getting a mention, best place to see them in Spring and Autumn is down around Langdon Hoe and St. Margarets near Dover. Also a great place for Yellow-Browed Warbler in early October."

"Nurse, with my jays I think it's my complete lack of photography skills rather than the birds themselves. They're probably sat thinking 'are you going to fucking take this or what, we've got a BBC springwatch Calendar photo shoot in 10'"

Re: For WHO's birders
"I'm quite surprised all your jays are shy, because mine are pretty bold. I don't see them often, but they're happy to come right up to my open door and a clue of times they've come into the sitting room for a quick smash and grab of the live mealworms on my desk."
