Can you hear birds?

[fucketyfuckwit]

It occurred to me this morning that there was no morning chorus. It wasn't raining.

There have been many many dead birds where I live (SW) but we only hear about the sea birds.

Can you hear birds where you are? Is it not a time of year for normal garden birds?

I'm hearing far more than usual and I'm the concrete urbs

it puzzled me, but I'm delighted to hear them.

Our sparrows do that too. We've taken to wondering what they're arguing about.

Can currently also hear crows, jackdaws and a pissed off blackbird.

Just the usual calls and squabbles at the feeder. Plenty of birds around but as a PP said, no males singing for a mate so all is quiet. Robins start singing at this time of year to establish territories.

Hearing the first blackbird of the year is a thing of great joy for me - a sign that winter is over.

Yes. I can hear precisely 11 birds, 8 adult, 3 chicks.

We have budgies.

The wagtails were chirping merrily to each other earlier and when I mentioned it to DS1 he said he had seen one outside his bedroom window catching a butterfly which was desperately trying to escape and ripping it to shreds which made me feel queasy.

They are late today but can confirm the arrival of the sparrow masses and they’re all having a Barney about….something.

One feathered fucker has taken up
residence nearby and by some evil trick has a whistle that sounds EXACTLY like my kettle whistling when it boils. The number of times I’ve rushed to the kitchen before remembering I haven’t put the kettle on. I’m sure the fecker is doing it on purpose for shits and giggles.

I have been enjoying watching the swallows this afternoon but they don't make much noise. I imagine they will be off to warmer places soon.

The sparrows are chattering away on the ground in large numbers so I imagine the rain has brought the worms to the surface of the grass. My resident robin and a family of turtle doves were sheltering in the barn during the storms earlier today.

We also have redwings and starlings in the trees and they can get very noisy around dusk.

Green parakeets making a racket and last night I heard two different types of owls!

Could be a magpie. They are excellent mimics.

The breeding season has finished so very few birds actually singing. Robins sing just about year round and started after the summer break about two weeks ago.

It could indeed. I have several around here. Thanks to my superstitious Irish mother I only over want to see two magpies at any time, certainly not one or three or four.
I like your name btw!

It's like Bird Central Station in my village.
They're singing on & off from dawn to dusk. Plus the owls twitter whoo at night.
It's beautiful.

Though we do have a bird who sounds like he has a dry cough when he chirps not sure what bird he is?

Thanks @HoofWankingSpangleCunt my dad always said if you see a lone magpie there's always another close by. I still salute them though just in case!

Link, please? Any sort of people that refer to pigeons as cunts sound like my kind of people.

It could be a chough. They are named after the sound they make.

The small birds appeared back in the garden on Monday NE England. Heralded by two robins squaring up to each other on the backs of garden chairs , swiftly followed by blue tits, coal tits and sparrows.

Not keen on the permanent flock of magpies hopping around, wish they'd bugger off to the fields.
