Dawn Chorus- Nigerian style

One of the things I thought I would miss most about living in Monmouth was the silence. All you heard in the morning was the birds- and they could be very loud I woke up very early today, couldn't sleep,and lay there in the dark. At about 6:30 it suddenly became light and the birds were amazing. They sound very different to the blackbirds and thrushes we are used to but they whoop and whistle very well. In our flat we are away from the road and that is all I could hear. Also there is a very very loud cockerel on the waste ground ( or residence?) next to us, boy oh boy was he calling this morning!
