bird songs

I have mentioned in the blog a few different bird songs that I have heard while out and about this Spring. They are truly delightful. I would love to share some with you.
I have just found a brilliant website where you can choose to listen to them, or that might help you identify a bird from it's song you heard and couldn't see.

http://www.british-birdsongs.uk/    then press 'categories' in the green box under the initial birds pictured, scroll through the species groups, then choose the individual bird. Press 'hear it's voice' at the top of the individual species page.

The most common ones you'll hear in the UK during spring are ;

Chiffchaff
Willow Warbler
Barn Swallow/Swallow

Then more common garden birds ;

Blackbird 
Song Thrush
Wren
Blue Tit
Great Tit
Chaffinch
Greenfinch
Collared Dove 
Woodpigeon
House Sparrow
Dunnock 
Robin

If you visit different habitat sites you will  hear different birds such as ;

Goldcrest
Nuthatch
Treecreeper
Great Spotted Woodpecker
Green Woodpecker
Mistle Thrush
Pied Wagtail
Grey Wagtail
Kingfisher
Dipper
Buzzard
Sparrowhawk
Jay
Carrion Crow
Rook
Blackcap
Garden Warbler
Whitethroat
Lesser Whitethroat
Sedge Warbler
Reed Warbler
Skylark
Meadow Pipit
Stonechat
Linnet

These would be woodland, heathland, water birds and in coastal areas.


So have a little listening exploration and learn a little bit more for yourself. They're lovely to listen to especially with no other noise around.
Good luck and enjoy!
