Some people can easily be pleased – the right birds just have to fly past and they get all excited.
These are Bohemian waxwings1. They are currently flapping around the Nordic countries in large flocks terrorising berry bushes and exciting foreign birders. It feels a bit like The Birds, only with the menace replaced by high-pitched trill.

Yep, that’s it Marylka. Assuming you weren’t suggesting what the angel was reading.
