A few weeks ago I left the bedroom window open. Our room is on the second floor of the house, with a window directly opposite an old pine tree. I spent the hour or so prior to waking being serenaded by the most beautiful birdsong. These little birds…

This song has been done by many people and discussed in detail here:

Apologies for my loose interpretation of the melody until the 2nd chorus! I've based my version on Andy Stewart's performance with Silly Wizard:

Which is a different melody to what is usually sung and reminds me of 'The Bold Fenian Men'.

The blackbird is hard to catch with a camera, so it took me a few days to get a photo and also record some of the audio.

The Beatles 'Blackbird' is the obvious other song choice, but I just
couldn't get it to work with bouzouki and it has been covered so many times already on guitar.
