A male White-crowned Sparrow singing his heart out on an early spring evening.

Young males learn the basics of the songs they will sing as an adult during the first two or three months of their life. They don't directly learn from their fathers, but rather from the generalized song environment of their natal environment.

Because male White-crowned Sparrows learn the songs they grow up with and typically breed close to where they were raised, song dialects frequently form. Males on the edge of two dialects may be bilingual and able to sing both dialects.

Completed in 2006, The Singing Ringing Tree is a wind powered sound sculpture resembling a tree set in the landscape of the Pennine hill range overlooking Burnley.

Singing sands - The wonderful white sandy beach of the Singing Sands on Islay, peppered with rocks, with the uniquely shaped lighthouse of Carraig Fhada overlooking the scene. Port Ellen is visible in the distance across Kilnaughton Bay.

I guess this is the pose I was looking for the last couple of days. A little more profile would have been OK. Actually, I was looking for something else and finally gave in to the Red-winged Blackbird entertainment. Ready to move on.

There is an old folder holding many photos I took before joining FlickR. Now I don't get out so often, I will share these old shots instead.

Yellow Warbler dancing and signing away in the bushes at Humber Bay Park. Although I'm impressed with the IQ of the camera the auto focus is poor to say the least with the adapter. I guess I'll stick to my 7d mk II until sigma or tamron makes an affordable long lens for the FE system!

Singing, alone, the song of nonsense.

This Singing Honeyeater posed nicely for us.

They serenade me in the morning with my coffee.

It was a magical scene, a flock of little Serin birds landed in my orchard cheerfully chirping. I heard them but didn't see them until I took my camera and this lens. The little yellow birds looked like leaves fluttering in the wind, that's why I called the picture Singing Leaves.

(distance over 30m)

Doing what it does best, especially in the spring and early summer...

One of a number of tree pipits seen at Prestbury Hill nature reserve in Gloucestershire yesterday morning. This one was singing its heart out at the top of a tree in the Bill Smyllie field.
