At that time, yes, the Orthoptera, crickets and grasshoppers, and you're gonna ask me why? Because they make sounds. They sing. My passion again, you see? And I took a big, big interest in the Orthoptera, but that's another story. Because later on, I've got something to tell you about that, but yes. So, my favourites were warblers, woodpeckers, those woodpeckers, those drumming woodpeckers, whoarr! Which I later taught a lot in my 20 years as a tutor. All bird song, but I would stress woodpeckers and warblers. And then grasshoppers and crickets. I love butterflies, I love the Lepidoptera, but they don't make sounds, do they? Mammals, of course. You know, they don't make a lot of sounds. You do hear mammals, but they're, they're the the majority of mammals don't make sounds, you know, but obviously, fallow deer, muntjac deer, and foxes, of course. So, I'll record them if I can.
