Heard my first chiffchaff of the year today ☺️

Thank you for a moment of tranquility.

I remember growing up to those songs after a fresh rain. In most places the songs have disappeared.

Until all the birds are gone?

How much longer are you going to remain silent?

Probably chiffchaffs! Love hearing birds so much at the moment.

I was woken up by a singing blackbird this morning. Best alarm clock ever

I love the blackbird’s song and all its vocalisations. We seem to have a lot of chiffchaffs at the moment too.

The first frogs always give me joy!

Yes and can’t hear them at moment as man next door using chain saw to cut near hedge…. Pointed out it is illegal to disturb nesting birds…. Response was “no, only illegal on farms” !!! and he carries on creating clouds of unnecessary diesel fumes to pollute the air and warm the planet ….

Cuckoos. Not heard one for a few years now (commonplace when I was a child), but there's something about that call that is so magical and nostalgic

Blackbirds in spring is nice but when swifts arrive and begin their high-pitched screaming in summer, that massively lifts my spirits.

cyntoll.bsky.social•6 days ago

I love it. Thank you

❤️ red winged blackbirds songs

Birdsong is so uplifting.vThe most beautiful sound in the world in my view.

We were up at RSPB Nagshead the other weekend, the Song Thrushes giving it full beans from the treetops was beautiful.

Beautiful image and birdsong, thank you for giving us a lovely moment of respite!

Curlew. Despite living on the edge of a town I am lucky enough to hear them from my garden in the spring. It's been a good year for them so far too.

You simply can’t beat the cheery song of a Robin

This!
Sorry about the traffic noise 'Gordon' flew away before I could have a second go at capturing his 'burbles' - this is how he lets me know he's arrived and would like some mealworms please and thank you! Gwen the Blackbird, by contrast, comes yelling cuk-cuk-cuk at me!

Here's Gwen the Blackbird yelling!
