A welcome guest

For about a week or so, we've got a new guest. No, not in our house, but in our garden. It's... a nightingale! And he doesn't just sing in the evening or at night, oh no, even during broad daylight he bursts out in a wonderful song for Christine and I to enjoy. Or to repel his neighbour which we can hear a bit further in the woods. Yes, there are at least two of them around! Yesterday morning we heard him quite near and we went looking for him. And there he was... hopping about in the lower bushes whilst whisteling and squeeking as loudly as he could.

In the evening I tried to make a recording from our study. Unfortunately he was a bit further away so I had to filter and boost the recorded audio file a lot. So don't think that you can hear aeroplanes all of the time in the background... it's the unfortunate effect of having filtered as much of the noise away as I could. But in the end his voice sounds very clearly on the recording so you'll have an idea of what we can enjoy nearly all day and all night long! :-)
