Whatever kind of bird it was, it sure had a beautiful, melodious song.
I'm not too familiar with European songbirds, so I couldn't help you
identify it. We have a lot of mockingbirds here. One in particular
that seems to come back to my yard every year for the past three or four
years has learned how to mock eastern blue jays, a truck backing up
(beep, beep, beep...), a telephone ringing, and a police siren (woo,
woo, woo..). That last one is very funny to hear coming from a bird. I
was outside with my grandsons one day and told them about it, and they
didn't believe me. But the bird was on cue and started his siren call,
and they just thought that was the coolest thing they'd ever heard a
bird do. Keep up the good work with the video.

I found out what kind of bird's on the video (local name kær-sanger). It
has the same way of imitating other birds, but not as apparantly
obknoxious as your mockingbird :o)

Ah yes. A warbbler. That makes sense.

I've felt pushed to upload a couple of holiday-strips of a far worse
quality than they can bear, but to give you a hint of a joyful time, have
a look

Nice. I wondered if there was any fish in those streams. Niced looking
salmon!

Alas, the location for the above salmon-videos is a different one (Norway)
than my local spring-sites.
When I was a child, the grandparents living close by told that, when /he/
was a child, there was so much salmon that they could cross the stream on
the backs of them. I could do with less, but I don't think that spawning
salmon has been registered lately (in my time). Reclaiming the upper reaches
of the main stream is a step in the right direction.

I'm still pondering on the excessive algal ocurrence in the stream. I
observed scattered patches of the same algae in the norwegian river ...
confined to the edges and not very deep. This mode of ocurrence makes me
think 'light-sensitive' and 'fast-growing' ... the norwegian river has high
changes in watertable (discharge and perhaps tide in the lowest part where I
observed the algae). And I observe that two other local springs here (one of
which you've probably seen) are not pestered ... probably due to lack of
light and perhaps a continous very /fresh/ stream-velocity.

... and .. /holy snip/.. I found the original intend of my hdv-editing
programme and is now watching the lot as wall-to-wall razor-sharp video on a
high-resolution monitor. It's an eyes delight. Only problem left is the dorg
behind the camera ;o)
