It maybe that you have heard our "Early morning shower" competition (6.15am) when you are required to guess the song that Posh Al and I are singing....in the shower! I have to say, to warm up for my part in the competition, I am now increasingly using the inspiration given to me by our feathered friends in the trees. Unfortunately, I will never be able to reach the high standards of melody and divinity that the blackbird or song thrush possess! But I have reached one particular conclusion.....
Having been involved in early morning radio for many years now, I have noticed that the birds are taking less and less holidays - or, at least, time off! Once upon a time you very rarely heard any early morning "tweeting" or "twittering" (other social networking is available) during the months of December, January and even into February. But, once again, this winter - despite the fact that its certainly been colder than recent years - I have heard Richard Robin, Tommy Tit and Bobby Blackbird chirping away like there's no tomorrow. I'm sure they all used to get up a bit later than I did. I wonder if you have noticed this too?
This leads me to ponder over the possibilities that there is now an early bird, "bird club".....where all our little winged wonders gather just that little bit earlier to confuse us human early birds. They're probably all laughing at us. Come to think of it, I am sure that was a little chuckle I heard coming from the top of the silver birch this morning......
tweet, tweet!!
