Break not a branch, nor harm a tree – a video
Habitat is important for wildlife. There are so many birds use this copse. Last night there was one bird singing sweetly among the crows.
I like to think it was singing -
‘BREAK NOT A BRANCH, NOR HARM A TREE ‘COS THIS LITTLE COPSE IS HOME TO ME.
The scent and sound was soothing.
Apologies that there is only a fleeting view of this sweet singing bird – at about 38 seconds in the top right of the video.
Thanks for watching this.
As I said habitats for birds are important. They may seem boring to us,but they are life saving for birds and so much other wildlife.
I think it is a chaffinch? Can someone confirm it is a chaffinch singing?

How lovely to own an area like that and know that it will remain as it is for the wildlife to enjoy.
I think the sound you have there Trish is the call of a Great Tit. If you go to British Garden Birds:

and click on the recording of the call it seems the same as the one in your video and the fleeting glimpse seems to match the colouring of a great Tit as well.
