Observation details
The repetitive, rather monotonous whistles, each a singular and simple descending note, from just outside the house almost blended into the background... but then, quite suddenly, it struck me just what I was hearing!! A H0RSFIELDS!!! This is only the third EVER Horsfields for the property, and the first in some seven years!! I was delighted to spot the bird sitting very proudly in the tree immediately outside the kitchen, crowning the very top of it like a Christmas ornament!! Interestingly enough, it was distinctly rangier and somewhat larger overall than the usual Shinings; given my lack of long-time company-sharing with the Horsfields as a species, it was wonderful to finally analyse its quirks!!
