The strange thing is the birds do not migrate. It is so odd to walk to work to work on a crap January morning and have birds singing. With global warming, even the swans that live in the canals are no longer migrating, over to France I would guess. Just not used to so many birds about during winter. There are a lot of magpies flying around, like we have crows. An old childhood song or superstition involves magpies, that some people will wait to see a second
magpie since it is bad luck to only see one."One for sorrow,
two for joy,
three for a girl,
four for a boy,
five for silver,
six for gold,
seven for a secret never to be told,
eight for a wish and nine a kiss,
ten is a bird you must not miss,
magpie"
