Nightingale song! 19 months ago

I went to a local nature reserve yesterday and listened to nightingales singing – such a wonderful experience and one that I never tire of.

I tried to make a recording, which can be listened to here.

Getting better at this! 20 months ago

I went on a guided bird walk the other day and was amazed how many birds I recognise now, compared with a year ago. I’ve not made a huge effort to get better at this, but I think I’ve been a bit more observant – and being a member of various wildlife photography sites has certainly helped with recognition.

The photo is of a siskin – a bird I wouldn’t have recognised a year ago.

Some improvements! 2 years ago

I’ve been on some organised bird walks and also spent a fair bit of time in bird hides (and the garden) armed with binoculars and guide books. I think I’m getting a bit better at identifying birds, but still get confused all too often!

A highlight of the spring has been listening to Nightingales – and recognising their song!
