Guest MOLLY Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I was thinking exactly the same thing today Ricky Out on a walk today i heard what i can only describe as 2 glass marbles in a bag hitting together quickly. MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Moll; That makes me think of a wren, or possibly a tit. As for what Rick has lurking in the undergrowth? God alone knows. Sadly, I can't hear a lot of birds any more. Hearing's shot on those frequencies. But there's some good cd's available of common bird calls and songs. BTO.org would be a place to start looking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
