I am sorry but I found that remark about birds, negative, I prefer to listen to beauty and appreciate it, for what it is.
the song of the nightingale for instance is incredibly beautiful, to say oh hes just telling another bird to fuck off, in my opinion demeans the experience.
Peter was a highly individualistic performer, who added colour and excitement to the folk scene, but that comment tells us a lot about Peter Bellamy.
When the birds are singing open your ears listen to the beauty of the sound and you should need no more.
