Top 5 bird songs

I'm not a huge connoisseur, and this list will include bird calls, which are technically different, but let's go:

1. Yellowhammer (so good it inspired a famous piece of classical music)

2 (shared). Common cuckoo and chiff-chaff (I like how they actually say their own names)

4. Rose-ringed parakeet (invasive species, but nice sound)

5. Greater white-fronted goose (like a greylag, but more pleasant to listen to. the sound of winter)

Reminder that parrots aren't native to Europe, and the ones in this painting come from 3 different regions of the world (the Neotropical Americas, Australasia, and the Indian Subcontinent, respectively. But they became common companions in aviaries, brought together through European colonization and conquest.

This painting and others will be part of my presentation at the upcoming History of Science Society's Virtual Festival on 9 December 2023:

Birdwatching was an absolute success today ✨ I'm too tired to edit photos, so have some unfiltered birbs as your daily dose of serotonin🌠

Also my lens zoom isn't that great, the little Robin REALLY came THAT CLOSE to us, less than 30cm I was screaming so much 😢 he stood on a branch super close to us singing for about 10 minutes 😢then he started exploring the ground and was exactly next to my bf's shoes 😢 he's got a band on his leg, probably someone from the park studies some of the birds, so he must be used to humans ♥♥

We also saw the family of Ringnecks that lives in the park, but they always perch on the tallest trees, so they're super hard to see. And lastly we met a super shy Black Redstart

Indian Ring-necked Parakeet

Rose-ringed parakeet in London, Hyde park probably.

Amusingly, while their Parisian presence is easily explained (escaped from airports, twice). Their presence in the UK seems to be more speculation.

Fact from the wiki: How exactly the ring-necked parakeet population first came to exist and thrive in the wild in England is not known; however, theories abound, most centred around a pair or more of breeding parakeets that escaped or were released from captivity some time in the mid-1990s, consistent with the first widespread photographs of the birds.More specific introduction theories explaining the origin of the birds have also been published: >Parakeets that escaped from the branch of Ealing Studios used for the filming of The African Queen (Isleworth Studios) in 1951 >Parakeets that escaped from damaged aviaries during the Great Storm of 1987 >A pair of parakeets released by Jimi Hendrix in Carnaby Street, London, in the 1960s >A number of parakeets reportedly escaped from a pet shop in Sunbury-on-Thames in 1970 Despite the number of theories associated with film studios and musicians, most ornithologists believe that the original birds likely escaped from aviaries before 1971. In terms of geographic origin, the British rose-ringed parakeets are thought to be a hybrid population of two Asian subspecies

Bangladesh National Bird

Oriental Magpie Robin! This bird stood quite still for this portrait! Other birds were more elusive. I joined a group for the contest to see how many birds could be seen in 1 hour. I added the Orange-headed Thrush and Black-naped Oriole to my life list bringing it up to 324 species! I also recorded 13 other species, of which my favorite is the Rose-ringed Parakeet photographed below.
