You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Winter sunlight illuminating the tower of Southwark Cathedral this morning. Here Shakespeare buried his younger brother Edmund, an actor aged just twenty-seven in December 1607, at the cost of twenty shillings “with a forenoone knell of the great bell.”
