Songs in the night

Early this morning we were lying in our bed with the not-so-faint (!) sound of songbirds ringing through our open window - it was 4:30 am. The latitude of Belfast is 54 degrees and Moose Jaw is 50 degrees so the sun rises early and doesn't set till past 10 pm. There is one bird that does an imitation of a police siren - must have been an old bird that had lived through the "troubles". We are off to church - so glad that it is only a 5 minute walk!
