05-Dec Winter Birds and Whispering Trees

Summary

Step outside on a December day and the first thing you may notice isn’t the cold, but the birdsong that keeps winter from falling completely silent. Robins pour out full-throated melodies from bare branches, while mistle thrushes sing boldly from the highest swaying treetops. Wrens, hedge sparrows, finches, tits, nuthatches and owls each add their own distinctive notes, from sewing-machine rattles to haunting hoots in the dark. As many birds fall quiet, subtle sounds take over: wind combing through pine and birch, hissing in ash, whispering round tower blocks like distant surf. This is a month when careful listening reveals a secret orchestra in parks, woods, marshes and city estates alike. Return on 05-Dec for the full story!
