If the earth does grow inhospitable toward human presence, it is primarily because we have lost our sense of courtesy toward the earth and its inhabitants.

Midnight Tweeting

While walking past the Slopes at just past midnight the good lady porthole commented again on the “tweeting birds”. Having previously poo-pooed the concept of birds tweeting at midnight I was forced to stop and raise an ear trumpet to listen; and yes the good lady was right there was “tweeting”. This has left me pondering, which birds that reside or holiday on the Slopes tweet at night…? Answers via the comments and a left over Cadburys Celebration may be yours!

The birds singing at night will be Robins - well known for singing hours after dark - you can hear them when walking home form a night out!
