Why has a thread of mine apparently been deleted?

When I first got my DAB radio, one of the best stations was "Birdsong" - nothing but recordings of birds singing in a garden. Living in the concrete jungle it was a marvelous sound.Sadly the station is no more.

It's certainly an artist and I assume the smartphone code can be found for all 11 "web pages" in the vicinity of Victoria Gardens. Having said that the Curlew and Chaffinch would be well out of their comfort zone in the centre of Leeds and perhaps the Herring Gull too

For interest I thought I would repost the photo that I took on November 14 2011 of the QR code on a tree in Victoria Garden. The name is that of the bird whose call is number 4 in tyke bhoy's list of links.

Living in the concrete jungle it was a marvelous sound.Sadly the station is no more. I heard that once and thought it was a test for a new station. Classic FM did that just before they went on air years ago. It was like a walk through the country side for about an hour. With all the bird calls and songs, cows mooing and sheep bleating, tractors driving in the distance. I managed to record it but the tape got lent out never to return.{EDIT}I've just done some checking and it's the same one that was on Classic FM years ago. It's called "Brecklands Dawn Chorus" and was recorded by Andrew Flintham. You can still listen to it on http://www.birdsongradio.com/

When did it become Victoria Gardens, It was always Victoria Square
