"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 saw that (dunnocks mating) in my garden years ago. I agree, it's heady stuff."

Re: For WHO's birders
"Yesterday for the first time ever I saw a pair of dunnocks doing it. If you don't know female dunnocks are sluts, however male dunnocks know this and don't like to bat on a sticky wicket. The female does a bit of flirty dirty dancing with her wings to tell a male she's horny. He wants to jump on but won't do so until he's removed her previous lover's muck so he has a few pecks to clear her for entry and then climbs on board. Filth."

Got a honeysuckle covered in aphids but the blue tits and sparrows are enjoying feasting on them.

Re: For WHO's birders
The sparrow couple have successfully raised four and you could really get in touch with how happy they are to see them all flying today.

Re: For WHO's birders
"It is bedlam here. There is big crowd of Starlings and their fledgelings flying about and shouting at each from the oak trees. Had 35-40 on my lawn today rooting for worms. Ditto the house Sparrows, they went quiet for a bit but their fledglings have arrived and the lot of them barely stop moving. There are obvious some nice juicy insects living in my apple trees. Second brood of Jackdaw chick still here (squeek, squeek, squeek). Also saw a Heron flying over this afternoon pursued by mobbing Crows and Magpies. The Heron was not happy with that situation one bit. So glad I am not the office."

Two nightingales going at it now. No cuckoos yet though once the nightingales start that’s just a matter of days.

Re: For WHO's birders
I witnessed a magpie attacking an injured squirrel yesterday. The squirrel appeared to have something wrong with its legs and was unable to climb. This magpie had several goes at it but the squirrel defended itself and the magpie moved on.

Watched a couple of lapwings today. I think it’s the male that does a roll in a low flight.

Goldie 2:07 I've watched that many times. It's actually my favourite video on YouTube. Here's another: https://youtu.be/Qt-pB1R64mI
