This is the most beautiful Mistle Thrush song I have ever heard!
What made it even more magical was the fact that it was gracing a new collaborative nature project in Nechells.
It’s worth taking 26 seconds just to heal the mind and enjoy the wonder of Brum’s birdsong 😎👌

Wooden information board at the entrance to Moseley Bog, surrounded by leafless trees. A large sign reads “Welcome to Moseley Bog” above a map of Moseley Bog & Joy’s Wood Nature Reserve, with paths, woodland areas, and wildlife information, plus notices about volunteering and archaeology events.
A guided walk in Moseley Bog: an older man with white hair (Dr Mike Hodder) gestures toward a narrow stream (with evidence of a ‘burnt mound’) beside a muddy woodland path. Leafless trees and ivy-covered trunks surround the watercourse, with simple wooden stakes and branches reinforcing the bank, while a small group listens in the background.
A shallow stream winding through Moseley Bog, with pebbled banks, fallen branches, and ivy-covered trees. Two people stand on the wooded bank in the distance listening to a guide. On the left bank, partly hidden by soil and vegetation, are the remains of bricks marking where a sluice would have been.
A small group walks along a boardwalk through Moseley Bog, wearing winter clothing. Dense trees and undergrowth surround the path, with fallen leaves covering the ground. A guide gestures toward a low-lying area of the bog, explaining where a pool would once have been.
Joined an archaeology tour of Moseley Bog with Dr. Mike Hodder today. Burnt mounds, sweat lodges, sluice, dam, and marl pit - fascinating glimpses of how the landscape was shaped over millennia. No wonder it’s said to have inspired Tolkien. Thanks to the Friends of Moseley Bog for organising!
