dawn chorus

[sam]

There's a blackbird in the trees behind here that sings Dixie apart from the last note. I thought I'd gone mad when I first heard it then the missus said, 'Did you hear that bird?'
There's Rebs under the flower beds.

This years blackbird is called Sparks. He does the intro from "This town ain't big enough for the both of us".
One of his predecessors was a dab hand at that dire 60s number "Kinky Boots" (recorded by the cast of The Avengers I think) & another had a call which sounded like "Star paper--squark!" so he was called Ron, from Pratchett's "The News".
