I miss the song of thrush's and blackbirds.. and the English robin sitting on the fence.
My sister and her husband are hard core twitchers - they travel all over the place (in Ontario now, but years ago in S. Africa) to view a lesser spotted whatever. I remember gazing in awe in Hong Kong at a hoopoe and my brother in law (who was visiting) saying "oh those - see them everywhere" lol.
I like the cardinals, goldfinches, tree creepers and doves - not so much the damn hawk who nested in one of the trees in the back garden this winter and decimated several doves and sparrows. Grackles are a pain in the bum but amusing to watch, as are American robins.
On my other computer I've a lovely picture of a dove in the nest from a couple of years ago and several shots of baby robins - I'll have to dig them out.

Do. 
I miss robin redbreasts.
The robins here are black & white. Everything here seems to be black and white.

Ironic Canada geese... Presumably taken in the UK 
What owlets are they? I wouldn't begrudge sparrowhawks, they are amazing birds too
Snoop has got me addicted to the Norwich peregrines webcam ...

Trouble is, mum has been chased off by a larger female interloper and left dad holding the babies...

See a lot of seagulls, blue herons, cormorants and eagles. I get on better with them than the naffing seals, sea lions and orcas.
