The RSPB recently released a record of birdsong which managed to go to the top of the charts - a fantastic achievement. And they've now started a Birdsong Radio - wonderful. It is surely the biggest delight of my day to hear the birds singing in the morning and to watch them feeding in the garden. Check it out here
On our recent trip to England and Scotland we had a morning off in the Lake District and found TheBirds Bistro :). A brilliant place to buy special foods for the birds and squirrels. We came home loaded down. Check it out if you're in the area.
And at the same time, my Tom has written a fun song called The Birds Song - a parody on immigration - have a listen - and a watch of our birds :).
He's working on a children's book at the moment illustrated by a friend, Colum McEvoy. I'll post some of the images in a future blog post - it will be launched at our festival here next month.
"We may have different feathers and sing a different song
But when we sing together, the differences are gone. "
