Standing on a small bridge I could see and hear a Dipper singing on the river side of the bridge and had a Kingfisher perched on the stream side
I found a large, curved vine on the Singing Beach yesterday, and spent much of the afternoon trying make a question-mark-shaped-sand-sculpture out of it. It didn't work out - the structure sagged terribly, and I ended up taking it apart after a couple hours.
To salvage the day, I used the same vine to make this quick and simple arch. The vine proved too slender to make any elaborate drip towers, but it was still fun to fool around with.
As it turns out, I was not the only flickr'er on the Singing Beach yesterday - jspad was just a few beach blankets over, and she actually recognized my sandcastle from flickr!! She took a pair of terrific polaroids of the sandcastle, too.
It's probably more difficult to photograph a Nightingale that isn't singing at this time of year as they seem to sing without a break day and night. But they are a bird of damp, dense woodland and usually sing from cover, as they are a bird that definitely relies on their vocal abilities rather than their plumage to attract a mate. We heard dozens of Nightingales in the Coto Donana but we only managed good views of a handful. They are a common bird across much of south and west Europe, with a European population of up to 7 million pairs. But in Britain we have a few thousand pairs, and that number is declining so fast that they have been added to the red list.
Our tour guide in Antigua.
During our bus tour she was answering questions from us and one came up about their national anthem. She said "It's beautiful and I'm not the best singer but if you'd like I'll sing it for you". She sang their national anthem and by the time she was finished she had tears streaming down her cheeks because she loves her country that much. Very touching to say the least.
It really was a good tour and she made it even better. I noticed when we got off the bus the tourists had compensated her well and she certainly deserved it.
I noticed that the bird liked one particular perch and waited for it to come back . I got lucky when a car pushed it back to me.
Wood Thrush singing - New Jersey
There are many songs of the woodland songbirds that I love to hear each Spring but most likely the song of the Wood Thrush is the one that always brings me joy and peace while wandering around the forests of the Northern New Jersey.
Here is an interesting fact about these birds:
“During his three-part song, a male actually sings pairs of notes simultaneously, which harmonize and blend to produce ringing, ethereal tones.
The Wood Thrush's complex song begins with several low, almost inaudible notes, followed by the rising, flute-like ee-oh-lay, finishing with a complex trill. Each bird can sing unique versions of each song part, and one male can easily sing over 50 distinct songs!” - source: American Bird Conservancy

I like birds that sit out in the open and have lots to sing about, as it makes them so much easier to get good photos of :) This is a Karoo Prinia, seen at Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens.
