    First birdsong!

    Singing Willow Warbler in my concrete back yard yesterday was nice. Starlings been singing cheerily for a good while now - however, new for me was one imitating a Chough! (I get real Choughs calling from the house from time to time). Lovely to encounter 4 different pairs of Long Tailed Tits nest...

    First birdsong!

    First singing Treecreeper in Endcliffe Parks, Sheffield (last Monday). Wonder if this somewhat cooler spell will put the dampener on breeding behaviour.. that said, had a pair of Robins clearly paired up today. ðŸĪĐðŸĪ”ðŸĶðŸĶ

    First birdsong!

    My first Chaffinch and Goldcrest of the season, on this mild day. The Chaffinch's little flourish at the end was perhaps a tad short, but I'll let him off. 😃👍ðŸĶðŸĶ

    First birdsong!

    Yes I tend to hurry past thinking I'll listen to the next one, but it's really worth taking time out to appreciate it. Bought my Advocaat yesterday, ÂĢ3 off in Tesco 👍ðŸĶ🍚ðŸĶ✌ïļðŸŽ„

    First birdsong!

    Ah there's no beating a winter Robin, there was one a couple of days ago in Wythenshawe Park singing (plus Stock Dove and Woodie) on a cold, windy day and it absolutely warmed the cockles! ðŸĪĐ👍ðŸĶ😃ðŸĪŸâœŒïļðŸĶ🎄

    First birdsong!

    First proper Song Thrush song yaaay. This morning, pre-dawn in Timperley, Cheshire. I'd had one a couple of weeks ago having a half hearted go, but this was the real deal. Then this afternoon, a Blackbird warbling away in a berried Cotoneaster shrub in the wind and rain in Altrincham. It is...

    First birdsong!

    OK, so not "song", but I love hearing it all the same - 2 Blackbirds were doing the "chink chink" thing prior to going to roost this evening, around the concrete backyards where i live. Very atmospheric in the windless evening. 1 was in a Holly and the other was out of sight but flew past in the...

    First birdsong!

    A Great Tit was singing away yesterday Wed 6th Sept in the warm sunny weather. Robins have been back singing heartily for a couple of weeks now after their lull during high summer when they're lying low. Dunnocks have been giving their "autumnal" call since about the middle of August. :-)

    First birdsong!

    The first Reed Bunting that I've heard singing, at Rostherne Mere, Cheshire, 2 weeks ago. Not the most widespread of species, but still. 👍ðŸŽķðŸŽĩðŸĶ😀

    First birdsong!

    Local Greenfinches have started their wheezing nasal song, no canary but I love it. And a Goldfinch twittering lustily. ðŸĪĐ👍ðŸĶðŸĶ

    My first singing Chaffinch today, in the North Wales countryside. Slightly wonky, but full-throated. Also my first Lesser Celandines. 😀🌞🌞

    First birdsong!

    My first proper Blackbird song today, in Llandudno; initially perched on a roof on the back of Venue Cymru and later doing something i don't recall coming across before - singing heartily while foraging on the ground under and between bushes! Took me a while to locate the tinker even tho it was...

    First birdsong!

    Was lovely to hear a Cheshire Song Thrush in full song this evening, after a bit of a practice warm-up a couple of days ago. Full volume, all the phrases, just slightly less energetic than in Spring! ðŸĶœ Wednesday a Stock Dove singing nr Dunham Park, perhaps a late breeder? Do they sing from...

    First birdsong!

    A Coal Tit in full song (albeit briefly) on Llys Helyg, Great Orme, Llandudno yesterday in beautiful sunny, still weather. However, i'm pretty sure it was in response to me playing a cheeky bit of YBW on my phone, as it bombed over and burst into song. So not sure it really counts. Also, a...

    First birdsong!

    I had a nice surprise this crisp, sunny morning - a Mistle Thrush in full song. Well, i guess they can be starting to nest build in 4 months or so! Funnily enough, Mistle Thrush isn't a bird i often see around here, and yet the habbo is perfect - horse fields and sports fields with adjacent...
