    You absolutely sure about that DT? This winter a Starling's been singing its head off on our street and its birdsong mimicking is amazing; Mistle Thrush, Dunnock, Curlew, Lapwing, Common Gull, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Swallow, all in beautiful stereo!
    I guess it's mild enough for birds to think that Spring's not far off.

    We were out early (5-30ish) and it sounded right to me. Lovely 'plummy' tones. I've heard starling mimicks before. It was 11 degrees that morning

    Attachment 6662Saw a Stoat yesterday over Langsett way, and had a Sparrowhawk sit on our fence for about 20 mins this morning. Just, y'know, passing the time of day.

    Bullfinch, in the dusky light tricky to make out, but could just see the rose red chest and white rump as it flow onto the bush!

    About a dozen or so Lapwings on Bull Hill over the last couple of weeks, been ages since I've seen so many together.
