Coal Tit And The Love Pellets

I’ve been trying to get a better handle on  sound. A better handle on the details of sound, because I’ve always been a broad strokes, big emotions kind of guy, not brilliant at picking up on the nuance and detail. 

And I’ve been listening more closely to Bird Song this summer. They invented singing, so it’s a good place to start. Yesterday I spent some time focussing on the coal tits that were passing through a patch of conifers on the hillside where I walk. 

So, for your information, the coal tit first does a little high pitched two note lock and load. The second note is a little bit higher. It might need to do this two or three times.

And then the little beauty fires a tiny round of the gentlest love pellets you ever heard.

Folks, these are the bullets we should be going to war with. 

I’m telling you, listen out for them

Coal Tit And The Love Pellets.

They could be huge.
