For WHO's birders

I thought you might like this video.
https://youtu.be/I7dYd-Ra8bk
It's a compilation of different birds singing. Beautiful photography. If you expand the 'title' under the video it gives a list of species and the times they pop up in the video. Most of the species are familiar to us in the UK, but there are some 'exotics' (the cranes - wow, what a noise!)
It was filmed in Belarus. The guy has a channel you can subscribe to.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and maybe it'll take your mind off you-know-what for a few blessed minutes.

Just seen a white tailed sea eagle, in Compton bay, Isle of Wight. First one I’ve seen here and they are big buggers.

Just taken a photo of one of the wild flowers, and it’s a gentian. Well chuffed.

A few of the wild flowers I planted have come up on the last week, well pleased.
My street and a couple nearby are also covered with lots of Mexican flea bane. It’s amazing how they can grow quickly, with next to nothing to grow in. They truly are proliferate.
Ahem…

Forgot to add:
Loads of swifts in the streets around my home. Also an area I know locally for house martins is absolutely swamped with the little beauties.

Spotted flycatcher.

Merlin has been trying to tell me all morning and I thought "Nah". Now a confirmed eyeball. Best Spring I can remember for birding in a long time. All I'm missing is my woodpecker but maybe I've not been available to watch the garden early enough or just been unlucky with timing.
Also: a jay and many baby bluetits.

My Merlin app has recorded a single Nightingale and, interestingly, a Golden Oriel at the same time. Playing it back there is a single liquid trill, which seems to have been attributed to both. Could it be Merlin is as reliable as an over-keen ornithologist?

Swifts screaming their heads off in the air over my garden and a hovering red kite who most obligingly slowed and circled long enough to give me a good view of his underpinnings via my bins.

I became a little tearful earlier. Brilliant day in my garden. Not only are the coal tits back after a 3(?) year absence, but twice one came in to my sitting room to take worms. On top of that for the first time ever I've seen long-tailed tits on my feeders! I got to watch a parent feeding bits of suet ball to its fledgie. I love these little tsee-tsee-tsee-tsee feckers, but until today they've eluded me. God bless these mild winters.

I live next to a park, there is a family of birds that are the size of a sparrow only they are blue. Beautiful looking birds. It’s called an Indigo Bunting. Nice looking bird.

Went to see a Frigate bird sanctuary on the isle of Barbuda yesterday. They are massive with a 1.8 metre wingspan.
Also see some humming birds.

Saw a cuckoo today, heard it and then located it to top of a dead tree.

4 days of beautiful weather.
I keep thinking there's a trick lying just round the corner.
