Mastodawn

This joy: a song thrush
Singing in Criftin Lane, gnats
Dancing in the sun

Whilst the Merlin bird identification app is good, it didn't recognize the #hoopoes that have arrived today with the warm weather and that I could hear in the distance. A surprise for me in this current list is the #hawfinch. I suspected that there were probably some around, given the available food sources of ash, beech, hornbeam and cherry, and other people's pictures taken locally, but I've never yet seen one for myself.

I have a great little app on my phone called Merlin - it’s basically Shazam for bird song. Always fun to see who’s back in the area - today is the first time this Spring for the chickadees.

I find that I'm using the Merlin bird identification app more and more often, just because it picks up bird song at a fair distance that I can't distinguish and sometimes can't even hear.

This morning's motley selection is a serin, a blackbird (plenty of those all around the garden), the cuckoo (only one for the moment), wood pigeon, blue tit, chiff chaff, and the raucous green woodpecker that has taken to shouting in alarm in the grass about 20 metres away.
Sound up for this one!
