Beautiful. Sadly for the last 10 years we have noticed a steady decline in birdsong in our local area. We live in a rural area with farmland and woods. No Swifts or House Martins or Swallows, they would fly around the fields and dive in between our hedges. With their characteristic sounds and speed. They have gone!! Oh so sad.
I love what rspb does to help nature and show people how to treat it and what an impact we have on it and how badly we behave towards it without knowing it
I am lucky to have a marvellous dawn chorus where I live (Cowal, Southern Argyll). Right now, early May, we have a mistle thrush high in the larch tree, a blackbird lower in the shrubby trees in the garden, a blackcap in the alder/cherry trees, a cuckoo (2 in fact), collared doves and woodpigeons, and various other small birds from sparrows and wrens to chaffinches and great tits. The dawn chorus is so loud, it wakes us up around 5 a.m.!
This is such a special, magical recording. Thank You RSPB! It lifts my spirits especially on cold, dark days. The orchestra of birds can’t be beaten in my book.
This is lovely but would have been even better if the identity of at least the pictured birds and also the ‘lead singers’ could have been noted along the bottom of the picture.
Cleansing our skies from the heavy metal chem trails would help ENORMOUSLY - I believe help is on the way in that respect and may the perpetrators be executed preferably on TV
