Re: Songbirds have gone
Where I live the 'dawn chorus' is a dozen roosters.
I have only seen one wild bird today -
it must be the predatory birds about that makes them hide (see Jaysay's post)

Read it, digested it, didn't panic about it, already knew what wakes me up about 5.30 each morning, or was it an 'Earthquake'?
Get real, the birds thankfully are still with us.

Don't be mean ... Actually, never tasted it.
I expect the dogs are getting bad tempered due to the lack of dog pooh in your street Margaret … sniffing each other’s is one of their great pastimes whilst out on a walk.
Also, expect (during the breeding season) your birds have to twitter louder to be heard above the mini bikes, so their silence is more noticeable now.
It is a fact though, that animals do have better senses than ourselves, and could sense dangers before us mere Human Beings. Look at this … I can google to.

Have noticed a profusion of cabbage whites flying around in pairs at the moment, still they are very quite with their love making, so wouldn’t notice if they calmed down.

Animals are more sensative than humans ... both in the sense that some of their senses are more accute .... that pile of dogshlt contains a lot of info for a dog .... and in the sense that they (may) have more senses (a lot of "sense" in this, eh) Cattle "predict" storms .... ahead of active weather they will group in the most sheltered part of the field and put thier backs to the oncoming storm etc .... there are lots of examples .... cancer sniffing dogs ..........................
And what kind of wine would you like with your duck? May I suggest something that goes well with the odd bits of lead shot
