To get the best out of the RSPB web site on the right hand side towards the top of the page there is a list of birds in blue if you click on the birds name another page pops up with that bird on with the links towards bird song and bird video.
Also on that page top right is a alphabet in litle circles if you click on A you get all the birds starting with the letter A so on and so forth have a look and enjoy jacob

Many thanks for this link, JM - I could watch the birds feeding all day! Saw a zillion coal tits today and yesterday on there, and the woodie from time to time. Wonderful.

If she's anything like my mum when I showed her the site yesterday, she'll say 'why is it so small?' (the screen) and then be incredulous that this is really happening, like, now!

You have got the live video thing, Seasprout? (left hand side, second one down) - takes a minute or two to load (and says it wants DirectX to start with (I think) which you can safely 'allow') and you have absolute live action!
