Going for the One
Just commenting on the “swift” thread made me decide to post this new thread. I haven’t heard swifts for several years now, despite seeing plenty of them. I believe my frequency range has diminished as I’ve got older. I also struggle to hear Cuckoos and grasshopper warblers are silent. I have to see them to know they are there. Not only does it make birding harder, but a large slice of the joy of birding has gone.
Is anyone else aware of this? Any other species cause problems?
It’s not all bad, I picked up whimbrel the other day purely on their call.
