You don’t need them having sex on your roof to be disturbed by the sound - I’ve been camping in forests during mating season and it is terrifying . They have this loud and deep demonic, pulsing call that carries through the forest at night. The first time I heard it I had no idea what it was - I didn’t get much sleep that night.
Ooh, here we go.

I get the impression that their call carries very far.

A pair of Goldfinch. Hopefully they’ll stick around.

I still think they’re just messing with us. Because cats.

From a twitter post:
A siege of herons, a murder of crows, an unkindness of ravens…what’s next, a socioeconomic decline of chaffinches? A ghosting of dodos? A nasty case of thrush?
