Last night, a very loud bird outside my bedroom window kept me awake late and woke me several times through the night.
This morning, while checking e-mail and listening to the BBC’s World News Hour on my local NPR station, I was thinking of searching for a website with bird calls so I could try to figure out what kind of bird was being such a nuisance. Before I got to that, I suddenly heard the bird’s call on my radio. It was almost exactly the same sound I’d been forced to listen to for hours. The BBC was doing a report about the declining population of the nightingale in England. They can have mine!!!
