A study recently found that not everyone loves to hear the dawn chorus in the morning. Something that I actually found surprising.
When I lived in Scotland, birdsong could be deafening at certain times of the year. My garden was visited by many species of birds, and I do miss their song and beauty in the early throw of Spring.
But since moving to South Tenerife, due to the lack of green areas, it’s not something I experience often. Occasionally, blackbird song, the chatter of the noisy parakeets feeding in the palm trees and the strange call of the Hoopoe can be heard when passing through the island on their migration journey.
The island’s north is very different, and the luscious vegetation encourages our feathered friends to stay and not just pass through. Therefore, when I visit there, it’s a tick off my list of things that put a smile on my face.
