<p>Spending five minutes listening to birdsong may help beat the winter blues, scientists have suggested.</p>
<p>Tuesday marks the Winter Solstice &#8211; the shortest day of the year &#8211; and this darkness, combined with the ongoing weather misery has left many people with pre-Christmas gloom.</p>
<p>But the National Trust have compiled recordings of birdsong to remind those fed up with the cold and the dark that spring is just around the corner.</p>
<p>And naturalists believe the birdsong may prove beneficial to our health.</p>
<p>Peter Brash, National Trust ecologist, explained: &#8220;Birdsong is one of the most distinctive sounds from the natural world and gives us a warm glow inside when we hear it.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re all attuned to the need to eat five fruit and vegetables a day or take a 30 minute walk.</p>
<p>&#8220;Taking the timeout to listen to five minutes of birdsong every day could be as beneficial to our well being.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the bleak mid-winter birds are more interested finding enough food to stay alive rather than singing.</p>
<p>But some, such as the bad-tempered robin are still belting out songs to keep other birds out of their territory</p>
<p>The birdsong and audio birdsong spotter&#8217;s guide can be heard on the National Trust website.</p>
