"Our old people's flats back on to a meadow, and outside our bedroom and kitchen windows there is a tree.
All night long this thrush sits and chirps and sings. If I wake at 1.30 am it's singing, if I wake at 4 am it is still holding forth. During the day it still sings always on the same branch. When does it sleep? 66T am a bird lover and always liked to watch and feed them, but I have never met one like this. I would be ever so grateful if you would tell me and my neighbours what your answer is to this.
We just can't make any sense to it." It so happens that my correspondent suggests the answer to her question in her own letter when she adds "It is very light around here." I have no doubt that that is why this thrush is singing away at night. For a number of years now birds have been heard singing right through into the early. hours especially in towns and cities lit by fluorescent street lamps which make the whole area almost as light as day. I remember being rung up one Christmas time some years ago by a caller who told me in great excitement that a nightingale was singing its heart out near the Market Square in Northampton. This was at night (which WAS why the caller assumed it must have been a nightingale) but it turned out to be a robin encouraged to sing at this odd time because of all the extra lighting The Mirror (game 19, day 3): 20, 85, 4, 53, 10, 39, 62, 8, 61, 76, 23, 50, 73, 12.

(Just for the record, nightingales don't come into town centres, and they are only summer visitors anyway). As to when my reader's thrush sleeps, the answer is intermittently. Birds rarely sleep all night through anyway. They may also take catnaps during the daytime, but in any case they don't need anything like as much sleep as we do, so I'm sure that thrush won't be suffering as a result of its nightly oratorios..
