"A £200,000 study into what happens when people hear birdsong is taking off."

With a grant of that size, he surely won't have much spare time to spend at Girdleness!

Just had a look at the project website:

Nice to see Andrew has referred to Birdforum.

I might even find the enthusiasm to contribute!

Quite a lot of people are already contributing, I'm pleased to say. I'll try and post something in a bit more detail later on.

Cor! Can't believe you're famous. Noticed the beeb story (before this), clicked on it (almost half-heartedly) thinking 'hmm I wonder if that's got anything to do with what Andrew's doing', and there you are in quotes! Lead researcher indeed. Must admit I didn't realise it was such a bit deal. You've understated yourself Dr W. Congrats.

Sounds interesting Andrew ! I will definitely contribute some material ( can it be more than one 'recollection/anecdote' ? !

If there is anything else I can help with please let me know.
