I Like Birds 16 - Assorted Sea Birds

 


An assorted selection of seabirds  for you this week

If I was to mention the largest seabird, the Albatross, you would immediately think of the instrumental song by Fleetwood Mac. You would be wrong  there as that has already featured in the second post in this series.

Instead you are getting The Asp and the Albatross by Americana band Freakwater. The Asp could just as easily have featured in my current Spiders and Flies mini series.

Again for the Seagull many of you might be thinking of Song to a Seagull by Joni Mitchell. It was in contention but has been usurped by Be-Bop Deluxe and their song Sister Seagull.

I think from the picture above that you will agree that the Shag is totally cool. Billy Graves certainly thinks so.

For this week's band name we are off to London to meet the Guillemots who, quite rightly giving the price of electricity ar  asking Who Left the Lights off Baby? and therefore saving some hard earned  cash

More feathered friends next Friday hopefully.
