Yes, indeed, but 1960's?! Lived in one for most of the 1940's. There's actually a website devoted to them and I was astonished to find someone had posted a picture of me standing in front of ours circa 1947

Fascinating! I can manage 10 kHz (eg Scarlet-backed flowerpecker) but there's one that shows up loud and clear in Audacity that I have to bring down a step of two to hear. Haven't id'd it yet. (Also never got round to spectrograms so this is very educational!) Thanks.

Great shot. When the lights failed at the Ambassador's garden party a while ago, I tossed my celery sticks back over my head into the bushes. The lights came back-guests found my celery sticking out of the trifle.

Stunning visuals, as usual! And fascinating glimpse of the behaviour. Unless my eyes deceived me, it had a quick pee while feeding.

😍 One of these flies over my house early every morning with its distinctive squawk- it's still dark so I can't see how intelligent it looks but it's too clever to come near enough for me to get a really good recording!

Before this, I had thought good things of Welby, but his farewell address to the House of Lords was jaw-droppingly crass. Either he's using the words without feeling what they mean or he has very misguided feelings
