Chattering of Choughs
What are these Choughs scheming on the garden wall?
Did you know the collective noun is a 'clattering' or 'chattering' of Choughs?
I prefer the latter as it seems most apt and for the sheer alliteration ?
Although Chough is now pronounced "Chuff" it was probably originally pronounced "Chew" an example of an onomatopoeic name after it's distinctive call.
