MORNING HAS BROKEN

Submitted by Editor on

This morning, to celebrate International Dawn Chorus Day, Spurtle despatched its Avian Affairs correspondent to the tranquil slopes of Upper Greenside.

Here, at 5.19 am, somewhere above the omnipresent hum and hiss of the OMNi Centre plant, is what they heard …

Blackbird, blue tit, chiffchaff, coal tit, herring gull, nuthatch, robin, song thrush, woodpigeon, wren, Eurasian drug dealer and common taxi.
