Now that summer is over and most of the song birds have migrated south for the winter, I was thinking about how much I miss the sound of birds from dawn to dusk and during my recent long drives home had started to make a list of my favourite bird sounds, as in a "Top 5" type of thing. So here it is:
1. The jaw dropping sound of a Skylark on a summers morning singing high up over a field.
2. The madness of a Song Thrush as he flits from one warble to another, usually the first sound I hear in early Spring and one of the last at the end of the day. Totally manic.
3. The gentle cascade of a Willow Warbler. An English Summer in a brief song.
4. Hearing thousands of Geese coming in off one of our coasts for winter or for roosting. Tingle time
5. The laughter of a female Mallard as if someone has just told her a dirty joke.
Loads of others but I did say 5, so what will you miss or even look forward to?
