"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."

"Nurse, with the robins, have you ever seen any of them do the ljtt!e clockwork territorial war dance yet? Have had plenty of robins in the garden over the years but only seen it once, it's quite a sight"

"Something for everyone here. BRITISH pipistrelle BAT flies to PUTIN's RUSSIA, and is killed by a CAT (probably –ó–ï–ë the cat). It's CORONA status appears to be unreported. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58128773"
Re: For WHO's birders
Saw a Red Kite for the first time from my garden today. Buzzards a commonplace here but it was good to see that forked tail. They must be migrating southwards. This is the best example of reintroduction I can think of.

Re: For WHO's birders
This is a nice thread and it’s right that someone like you who has a pair of great tits sometimes out in the garden has started it !

This is a nice thread for bird and nature lovers. We don't bring our WHO feuds in here.

Re: For WHO's birders
"I've seen almost nothing of the breeding pair of adult robins since they fledged their last brood. One of the adults, looking really ragged and moulting, continued to visit my sitting room for mealworms, but far less frequently and not at all for the last 2 weeks or so. In their place they have left one of their fledgies. It appears this is my garden's new resident robin, because no others come close enough to be spotted. Unlike both his parents, who behaved submissively towards the great tits, this fledgie, though still a young'un, is taking NONE of their shit. He is feisty, utterly manic in his activity, and amusingly rather dim. Still growing into his powers, earlier today he managed to land on a saucer of mealworms arse-first. I have christened him Bullet."

Re: For WHO's birders
A young fox has taken to sleeping among the flowers in my back garden. He/she looks very healthy and has come to an understanding with my cat (after a couple of stare outs) that sharing space is OK.

Re: For WHO's birders
Delighted to see a Hawfinch in our cherry tree yesterday - I thought it was a bullfinch at first but it's got a 'kin great bill and it's a bit bigger
