Irish Garden Birds of Town and Village - Wildlife Landscape Scenery

PARADISE REGAINED...
We're all enduring the lock-down at the moment in the UK and Ireland to support our healthcare workers and see this pandemic to an end.
One positive, outside our windows, is the much increased activity of native and visiting birds. They're taking advantage of the unusual quietness of human public life to mate, build nests, and visit a wider area than usual. Most notable is their incredible chorus, not just at dawn and dusk, but during the day on our roads and streets. It's a great time to observe them and perhaps try your hand at identifying a few from the comfort of home - the RSPB and Birdwatch Ireland have great bird identification tools online.
Here's a fraction of the birds visiting the gardens and fallow ground around my house this Spring. Hope you find them interesting!

Hello everyone and thanks for watching the film. There is music is this production as there is in most of the irelandscapes films.
The film was made for the faithful subscribers of the channel, which is a 'niche' provider for those interested in traditional Irish culture, a combination of many factors - and of which birds play a very significant role in folklore and daily/seasonal experience.
if you posted a comment here about the music but did not give the film a thumbs down - thank you sincerely for your consideration as some would just hit the negative button without considering the time and effort that goes into a production like this. This channel does not make any money. It's a voluntary effort on my part, travelling around the island at my own expense in all my spare time recording traditional landscapes, stories, music etc. This is not an ornithology channel, but if there is a particular bird you'd like me to film, I will look out for it on my travels as I have been very fond of them since childhood and also keep a large library of footage which includes wildlife.

ive always called hooded crows grey crows

[@MichaelBrennan1954]

Beautiful, but the music drowns out the birdsong, which is a shame.

[@lucas.ludziejewski]

Where was that?

[@Irelandscapes]

Thanks to the bird enthusiasts and teachers for watching and using this film. Here is another, of the Herron, and without music for the sound enthusiasts!

I'm wondering if you can identify a bird that I hear most mornings in the dawn chorus. I live by the coast and this bird has a call rather than a song. It's sound is usually drawn out with 3 calls. It sounds like "Craw craw craw" Hope you can satisfy my curiosity and guide me towards the bird it possibly is.

[@Irelandscapes]

Could it be a Grey Heron? They are early risers and have a distinctive high pitch caw'ing sound.

[@TherealBrendanHayesFilmMaker]

@@Irelandscapes Just listened to a RUclips video of a grey heron call. I'd describe the heron's call as a bark. It's not the sound I'm hearing. The call I'm hearing is more drawn out "Craaaw craaaw craaw" I'd be delighted to identify it because I'm completely intrigued.

Why the music?

[@caryoulwhitty]

Why not? Go and make your own video

[@moorenicola6264]

@@caryoulwhitty Because you can't hear the birdsong over the music which is the point of the video, is it not?!

[@caryoulwhitty]

@@moorenicola6264 my brain has the ability to separate the 2. I am special?

Was the bullfinch a female

No sparrows or doves ?.

[@Irelandscapes]

Doves in the Winter film yes - ruclips.net/video/o9323hcaEuk/видео.html
Sparrows, they prefer small terrace gardens with tall hedges here for some reason, and don't frequent the same green spaces. I love their lively movements and chirps. One has turned up in the same location this year finally, visiting a pond for a regular bath.

A rare appearance of the Great White Egret.
