It is pretty quiet here, can only hear Liam meowing about the house, mostly outside Kayleigh's room (she's at a friend's for a few days).

The PR is watching The Backstreet Boys documovie.

Listening to the latest opeth release on youtube.

I have to say, I kinda preferred their heavier-melodic phase to this new much softer sound. Older stuff like reverie/harlequin forest, face of melinda, hope leaves, etc.  Demon of the fall was another great one.

Currently listening to Soen 'lykaia'

There's a very noisy company (chemical/industrial) a couple of kilometers away from where I live that often makes some sort of hammering sound. It depends on the wind direction and when the wind comes from the West the noise is very noticeable.

Bambambambambambambambambam.. (et cetera/endlessly) 

Sound woke me up this morning and on and off that shitty sound was present this day.

Hear some cars passing by on the nearby street and yeah, also TV's on and some birdwatchers are talking 'birds' at the moment. One of the grey-bearded dudes knows quite a bit about birds.

Hearing one of the neighbors vacuuming her house. Think it's "J". Very high overtone in the sound. "I" has a better vacuum cleaner.

A *dunnock's singing in the garden beneath my window. J'adore his song. Lovely hearing it, I mean. Shame the little fellow usually stops again in a short while. Only two or three go's and..

Bird (dispite his somewhat boring appearance) tends to have a positive influence on my mood (well, shortly). Seeing it in  the garden but ja, also hearing it sing.

*does a bit of a silly dance*

Dunnocks are called "hedge sparrows" here in Britain, and people rarely even notice them . A case of familiarity breeding contempt, I suppose.  I also love those little birds, and I love that Americans are often so enthusiastic about them :)

Yeah, I knew.. but thought dunnock was more commonly used. Well, maybe not then.

'We' here (I'm Dutch) call them 'heggemus' which exactly translates into English.. hedge sparrow.

One of my favorite birds are those in Turdidae group. The thrushes. Pretty birds they are and great singers. Song thrush in this neighborhood sometimes mimics the sound an ambulance makes. Well, it reminds me of that sound. Makes me giggle hearing him.

Think I should start a thread about birds.. maybe.. (albeit.. I'm not an ornithologist or something)

The Americans call them by their more proper name, "dunnock" .  And the Americans are more common than us  :green:

Starlings are superb mimics  I haven't heard it in a while (maybe it went out of fashion) but all the English starlings  used to love to make that "bomb dropping " noise. It's said that they learned that song during WW2.

Starlings are another under-rated bird in Britain . Very pretty if you trouble to look  closely, with irridescent colours shifting in their dark feathers, just like rainbows in oil spills, but more natural ofc.

Starlings are great. Love them individually in my garden, with their amazing colours and sounds. And love the mesmerising way they fly in big flocks. Plummeting down in seconds when they've 'circled' where they want to sleep long enough.

Parakeets are great mimics too. I changed my alarm clock after a group of parakeets in the garden of my neighbour had come up will the idea to make the alarm sound at random moments in the night.
