Songbird

I'm taking advantage of a trip to the U.S. (and access to high-speed Internet) to upload videos of a bird that sings in our garden in Kinshas. He has a variety of melodies that are very musical!

I recorded this on my little digital camera one night. Sorry, the visual is not very interesting - it's what I see out my bedroom door at night: garden lights reflected in the pool. The interest is all in the bird's song: it has melody, rhythm, repeated phrases and variations.. amazing!
