At about 6pm tonight and in the pitch dark and an increasingly
strong wind,
there was a bird outside our office window singing a sweet and
piercing
song. I can't begin to think what it was and Ray even went out with
a torch
to make sure nothing had become trapped in the mesh of the bird
feeders etc.
which are just outside said window. No result! Anyone have any
idea?

The only songbirds around here which sing at this time of the year are
robins. The song is very haunting and somewhat different from their
spring song.
