I was flipping the controls one morning and stopped briefly (note the word briefly) on the BBC's Teletubbies being broadcast on Public TV. All of a sudden, a scene in a small well-landscaped park/garden in the UK emerged from a Teletummy (I don't recall the particular Teletubbie; I think it was Tinky Winky). While in the garden, I could hear two European robins (song and call notes), a great tit and blackbird (European version) very clearly. I thought I also hear a blue tit. It was like being there. What a pleasant surprise as it was winter and the woods in Augusta were quiet. Usually when Teletubbies show come on I turn the channel before switching to a scene in the UK. In any event, it is a good source of species for TV bird listers and couch potatoes.

If you keep a TV birdlist, but are not watching the Tour, you missed an amazing side view of a soaring Griffon Vulture photo'd from the camera helicopter today in the Pyrenees. Went on for almost a minute. Very cool!
