exquisite Blue Whistling Thrush (紫啸鸫,Myophonus caeruleus) is splashing.

True to its name, it does whistle. It is known for its loud human-like whistling song at dawn and dusk. ❤白雲Y影像

Videographed house sparrow at Buttertub Marsh on Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.

The Leather House is a Scottish folktale that tells the story of a man who, in need of a new home, finds himself in the middle of a forest. As he searches for a suitable place to build his house, he comes across a group of sparrows. The man is immediately struck by their beauty and is in awe of their ability to build intricate nests in the trees.

Feeling a sense of admiration for the birds, the man decides to build his house in the same location as the sparrows’ nests. However, as he begins construction, the sparrows become worried that their homes will be destroyed. So, they come up with a plan to approach the man and offer their assistance in building his house.

The sparrows offer to help the man build his house, on one condition – he must leave a small hole in the roof for them to enter and exit. The man agrees to this request, and the sparrows get to work. With their nimble beaks and tiny claws, they help build a beautiful and sturdy home for the man. The man is amazed by their hard work and is grateful for their help.

As the house is completed, the man notices that the sparrows have brought him good luck and prosperity. His crops grow more abundant, and his livestock thrive. He realizes that the sparrows have brought him blessings in exchange for their safe nesting spot. The man is overjoyed and promises to always keep the hole in the roof open for the sparrows.

The legend of the Leather House has been passed down for generations, and it continues to be a symbol of love, loyalty, and friendship. The sparrows’ selfless act of helping the man build his house, in exchange for a safe place to raise their young, is a testament to the deep bond between humans and animals. It also serves as a reminder that small acts of kindness can bring about significant blessings.

Mystery bird today over Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. I think I know what it is because I've seen it before. It's possibly not native. Anyone like to help me with a stab at ID? (very far away/appalling grey light so sorry quality etc etc)

[Brian Anderson @Briansbirding]

Four of this years new birds (new to me anyway) 😊
