"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
That is a lovely story Mex. Storks are great birds and I went to see the ones at Knepp last Autumn. It is very impressive seeing something that big fly.and puts you in mind of the flying dinosaurs (which they sort of are given the Birds' lineage).

Swifts / swallows back here! Sorry never worked out which they are! It’s a lovely story isn’t it Alfs. We should congratulate that guy!

"Max, that's a gorgeous story. Thanks for sharing. You should look up My Octopus Teacher on Netflix. An amazing story about a similar relationship but with an incredibly intelligent invertebrate."

"Saw something I’ve never seen today . I was driving on the A30 towards Basingstoke and I noticed a heron in a field , but when I looked quickly again there was anything from 9to 12 about twenty yards apart from each other . A courting thing ?"

Re: For WHO's birders
Redwing have very small breeding population in northern Scotland. Not uncommon to see large flocks in London parks especially as they congregate prior to return to breeding grounds. I can recall a morning driving the train about 13 years ago when there had been a massive overnight irruption and they were everywhere. That stork video is good.

Re: For WHO's birders
"I just had to make a cup of coffee, sit down and compose myself before writing this. I am fizzing with excitement. I had two redwings in my tree. They stayed and looked around for a few minutes then flew off. I've never seen them in the flesh before so had to really think about what I was looking at. ""Too small for a thrush...beak too long...what's with the eye stripe?..."". I had to look it up to be sure. My garden is very ordinary and in a build-up area of London. We're not out of February yet, but that will probably be my garden spot of the year."

Re: For WHO's birders
The other day I saw an avocet landing in the mud at Newhaven. As I watched it a kingfisher streaked past. Perked me right up. What a cracking double.

"Crikey, look at this one. It's a Mexican standoff between a northern goshawk, a roughed legged buzzard and a common buzzard over a rabbit carcass. This bloke is brilliant."
