Oh god yes. I sometimes turn the sound down, but then you don’t hear the wings etc. So annoying.

The bird migration tracking is amazing. I heard a talk earlier on in the week about research into the effect of solar storms on bird migration. It was the last talk here if you want to read about it https://thegeomob.com/post/oct-1st-2024-geomobedi-details

Not a film, but my all time favourite egg weirdness is the recurring Reeves & Mortimer Car Door Blokes sketch, which ends with an egg appearing from the mouth of a mysteriously deceased person…
