Can you hear the birds sing whilst driving in your car? Well, no, of course not! As I have blogged about before you miss a lot when you are encased in a metal box with windows on wheels.

It is spring time here so the birds are signing which is really soothing. Their songs are a pleasant sound, it’s wonderful to know that winter is passing for another year, and it’s pleasurable and relaxing to hear your nearby bird neighbours singing.

Moving around in our car-free-dom – we live in the middle of a city – you can really enjoy the bird song as you walk, wheel or cycle around. As long as there are not too many revving engines nearby! You can hear even more if you venture car-free out of the urban environment.

Recently, I have been spending some time trying to learn their songs, it is fantastic to be able to pick out something like this explosive wren song. The variety of bird songs are not at all easy to learn but well worth it when you can identify a few.

Go on get out there – listen, enjoy and relax! The wonders of car-free-dom.
