    There are some live bird table cams on YouTube that I regularly listen to and watch, although s. ometimes I have to stop because they can get quarrelsome and bullying. At such times I go for waves on a beach, or even ships passing into the Great Lakes at Port Huron.

    Please share some of these with us, Phil... and everyone else too. This thread isn't meant just for me!

    The Cornell set of cams is best for close up views of bird tables and nests, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZX...6NpR-eH_gdDwYA and the DCL one is a nice one for general nature sounds in a woodland setting, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjd...gAV-8NKE0Yl7kQ For humming birds, this one is pretty good, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK9...maAccZqCgeOw4w.

    If you like watching ships go by on rivers, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrt...5tMlVXdMDzOMUA has a good collection, and for trains, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOI...1N2BvrsBjhNlag. Most of these are in the US because they are still in the light when evenings here in the UK are dark, although there a few good cams here too.

    Thanks, Phil.

    Here are some dancing Royal Albatrosses in New Zealand.

    I found this video a while back. Sometimes I just like listening to it on my earphones whilst I work.

    Thank you for sharing this FenChurch. I have saved this and plan to listen to it... very soothing.
