There was a programme on BBC4 last night made by Chris Watson. It featured dawn choruses all over the country but was also very informative for a novice like me. It was part of an electronic music on the BBC night so I couldn’t work out why it was on (although they’ve had a lot of mindfulness programmes recently) but I read that he’d been a member of Cabaret Voltaire a 1970’s band pioneering electronic music. We met him at a birdwatching talk a few years ago but he didn’t mention that part of his life. He’s worked a lot with David Attenborough. It was Chris that told us about Ravens communicating with each other at night swapping stories and pointing out where all the best food is. Given that the Corvids appear very quickly when I put food out for them I’m sure their powers of communication are very advanced. I do worry that, by encouraging them I’m endangering the local songbirds but hope that if I feed them they’ll be less likely to look for other sources of food. I’m hoping the programme is on iplayer because it might be nice to listen to as I’m trying to sleep.
