    Singing in the garden

    On a sunny morning a mixed choir of Great Tit, Robin, Dunnock and Goldfinch.

    A noticeable increase in birdsong both in the garden and at the NT property where we volunteer.

    The thread title, however, reminds me of an April afternoon during lockdown when the rules allowed outdoor meeting and our small a cappella group rehearsed in the back garden. Our resident blackbird, however, clearly did not like the competition on his territory and accompanied us beautifully ff.

      I thought this thread would raise a question about singing in gardens possibly being made illegal?

      Names that could have been randomly selected from a junior school roll-call.

        Ouyt for a walk at 8 am today I noticed more birdsong than before, including at least two thrushes. Blackbirds sometimes begin their spring song about the middle of February round here.

          It used to be said that blackbirds and song thrushes wold begin singing during the second week of February, so this would be yet another sign of climate warming.

            Perhaps they're hoping that Young Mr Kanneh-Mason will come into the garden and treat them to a cello recital.

              Singular al fresco cello is old hat - you'd get the whole clean (quiet) tribe now judging from the documentary I saw some time ago...

                I still think BH was accompanied by Fred Lowery.
