UK friends! Tonight Birdsong makes its UK TV debut on BBC4 at 9pm. It will also be available on BBC Player thereafter. Please spread the word! Extract taken from The Times.

Just watched the Birdsong documentary on BBC4. It follows an Irish ornithologist trying to record the songs of all 200 species in Ireland before some species vanish. Particular highlights are the Skellig Isles footage, the last pair of Ring Ouzel & the murmuration www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

The maximum potential sentence available for this crime is 12 mths custodial and/or £40K fine.

Dylan Boyle got a £400 fine because apparently he'd behaved himself for 6 mths since conviction.

That'll learn him.
