By the way....anyone heard the blackbird at dawn? I was listening intently to one the other morning. It is really saying something! This isn't just beautiful birdsong, it's communication....language. I listened to all the phrases. No two were the same, but now and again there'd be a "signature" sound, then back to conversational tone. Very interesting to listen to.

I love listening to the birds at dawn. There's a blackbird here who toots away during the day, and at dusk. Most of the trees are in gardens nearby, so there's one tree where I can watch them. Because of the cats, birds don't usually get too close, and then I started thinking that the cat who visits might be really hungry, and when I put some food out by the window, a magpie came down and landed on the wall a few feet away. They both looked at each other, and then carried on :)
A few days ago, I was a little surprised to hear magpies before dawn. Usually they make an appearance a little later...
It would be nice to try some visual techniques for communicating! :)
