Yes, we're longtime members of the British RSPB and spotting isn't predictable!
The only thing you can predict is that the best sightings are when you haven't got a camera with you!

Thanks ROG for your very positive comment smile I really like that hazy ballad solo guitarist, it has partly inspired the whole song. I tried to use a talkbox effect for it, but it is barely audible, because I couldn't make it work as I wanted.

I'm really glad you found another level in the lyrics. Yes, it is not just birding, it can be interpreted to describe relationship (should I suffer and wait for a better day?), also the second verse could be read also as handling mountain climbing and its challenges. And on the high level it's about life and its ostensible unjustice.

I always carry a camera with me so I don't risk losing any chances. But even with a camera, it is difficult to take good pictures in a hurry. This year I've been trying to take a picture of a wren, very small, for many months, it has been singing almost next to me but I haven't seen it. Now I finally saw it but couldn't set the focus before it flew away. Second time the focus was little bit better. The third time, day later, I finally took a satisfying picture smile

Unfortunately, these are not good times for birds, mankind has destroyed many of their natural habitats. Hunting, pollution and the climate change are other threats. I hope the conservation helps.
