Gangs of Bluetits everywhere here, perhaps more than we'd seen before,
sparrows and starlings, Robins, Mrs blackbirds looking for possible
nesting sites, turtledoves nesting in a red cedar, magpies nesting in
the lime tree opposite our bedroom window (always using the same
branches to get to it like little steps) and owls - but what is now
driving us a bit crazy in our litttle close is a bird which I cannot
identify as I haven't seen it and cannot recognise its churpings, from
midnight onwards it sings like there's no tomorrow, alone in the night
it seems as no other birds respond to it, waking us all up and carries
on for ages - once I kept awake until 1.30am! We are desperate to shut
it up even though we find it quite cute.

Here chaffinches are very vocal at the moment with a repetitive two note
call which goes on and on for hours on end but I haven't heard it in the
middle of the night. I believe robins are supposed to sing in the night
if there's any artificial lighting, eg street lights but that's a real
song, not chirpings.
