Birdsong
Went for an early walk up to the Farm Shop this morning and it was a real joy! The Sparrows were gossiping in the hedgerows, the Rooks were arguing in the tree tops, there was a Woodpecker doing some D.I.Y. I couldn't see him but could hear the drilling and there were Blackbirds by the dozen all singing their lovely songs. It was really heart lifting!

I am sure a few of the birds on here will give you a chorus if it makes you happy Nom.

Re: Birdsong
I agree STI'm so lucky to live in a cul-de-sac on the edge of the countryside and surrounded by woods
The morning birdsong is glorious
Nature rejoicing
But a summer evening is even better
I have recorded the sounds so many times I wish I could post them on here...
It smacks of the tropics sometimes
The sound of crickets and/or grasshoppers adding to the wild chorus of sound
And the sight of bats flying so low and near
I love those evenings

Sadly missed a Black-browed Albatross yesterday passing up the North east coast, seen in Yorkshire and Northumberland. 1972 the last time one was seen up here.
