It’s the Merlin app, isn’t it? They were all just “birds” to me before I started identifying their calls… and it’s a fast pipeline from there to borderline “birdwatching”. What has my life become?
Used a bird call app over in western Melbourne and it insisted we could hear a starling. Bloody things are everywhere in England and I don’t know one when i hear it.
My partner is like this with birds xD
me: “Oh look, a starling!”
him: “Yep, it’s a bird.”
(though to be fair, he’s getting better at it :P)

To be fair, almost no one is excited to see a starling.
Id be very sad to see a single starling. They always travel in groups.
