It would be nice to be able to obtain "tuneable" noise reduction head- phones so you could tune out the Cicada drone and still be able to pick up bird song.

I have noticed that there are a lot of Cicada Killer Wasps around this year.

Greetings,
I remain unconvinced about what happens to the birds during cicada peak events.

We have remnant patches of rainforest surrounded by grass. Where do the specialists go? The neighbouring forests are just as noisy. Birds are hard to find in these conditions, the noise is sometimes so loud as to be unpleasant or even painful and so the birders leave, creating an impression of fewer birds. This is something I'll have out with Max Moulds when I track him down.
Regards,
Alan
