Hi
 
Last night I was really very surprised to hear a magpie singing the same song over and over at 10 pm - I just mentioned it to Tony and he said he had read others discussing this - was it on this email group? If so I missed it somehow. It was quite odd to hear this beautiful song in the pitch black.

Charmian et al,

When stumbling to answer the call of nature at 3:30am this morning, what did I hear through the window but the dulcet tones of a Magpie warbling.  I must admit that my dedication was sadly lacking and I didn't go out with recording equipment to record it, nor checked whether there were others responding...... I just went back to bed.  It confirms though that it may be a seasonal thing as I haven't heard it in a long time.

Cheers.
