Dusk chorus

As we walked this evening at sunset the last rays of the sun imbued the commons birch trees with a golden hue, beautifully framed against the blue sky. I stopped to soak up the spectacle, and was transported by the bird song. You hear the term 'dawn chorus' a lot, but not so the dusk chorus, I don't know if that's even a thing.  But as I stood there listening, and my ears became more attuned to the birds, the depth of sound and song was amazing. So many birds singing, so many different songs, if you allow it to it will fill your senses. Yeah, you register birds singing as you walk, though it's not until you stop and focus that you really begin to hear how many different birds are singing and how many different songs are being sung, a magnificent natural orchestra playing the greatest of compositions every evening, and just like the sunset, it's free, another one of natures gifts.
