The message
from John contains these words:

In a Garden Centre in Ivybridge, Devon, one is greeted with 'piped'
bird song. Although it's only a recording, it is very effective.

The reason I mention it is that the gardens around my home have
- during the past half a dozen years - become sterile of birds.

I'll not go into the reason for obvious reasons, but it occurs to me
that a poor second choice to true bird song, would be the mentioned
disced copy.

Does anyone know of a disc of British bird song? Not one
of those with musical background - or dreadful shrieking choir -
but genuine, honest to goodness birds singing their hearts out.

Who knows, it may attract back the originals?

Thank you

Have you got a cd burner? Maybe the RSPB`s website has a few on there
that you can download and put onto a disc.
