Smallest bird in Britain and a dainty song but the forest is absolutely teaming with them. They're very successful species in Britain, pretty much anywhere there are trees, tall hedgerows or ivy.

Goldcrest Song - MixPre-7501

Their song is very similar to their Sparrowhawk alarm call, in fact whenever Blue Tits sing, every other species is on edge lol. Sadly yet another common bird that's in decline so I always take the opportunity when I get one to record this species every year. Never take anything for granted.

Blue Tit - MixPre7556

I'll always have a soft spot for Blackcap as they're fantastic mimickers and it really gives away whether you have a local bird or not. For example, I have a Blackcap on my local river that's very close to a Dipper nest and as a result, he mimics Dipper all day long, song and calls. This guy was in the middle of a forestry and it did have elements of Siskin,Chiffchaff and Crossbill in its song, so it's likely going to be a local.

Nice to the these back in local clearfells, a sure sign that my Nightjar will soon be here too. Everything is early this year as we're having crazy heat for the time of year. -1c at night and 20c in the day time! that and we haven't had rain for almost 2 months...Not the April showers we are used to in the Uk at all.

Tree Pipit Song and Calls - MixPre-7641

When these guys arrive, I'm pretty sure they don't actually stop singing.... it's just non-stop till the females arrive and even then throughout the summer they just keep going and going. Got to give it to them, they're pretty hardy birds.

Willow Warbler - MixPre-7609

First time recording this species staying still for a change! they usually see me coming and dart off back down stream but this guy was too occupied in luring in a female.

Grey Wagtail Stream S - MixPre-7653

Always difficult recording nocturnal subjects when you can't see them, especially with a parabolic dish that's super directional. I don't think I got it 'smack' on with this recording but I'm more gutted that the female wasn't present as prior to me getting the recording gear out, she was doing an epic bubbling call back to the male and it would have made such a nice recording but a car pulled up and she flew off...Till next time owls!

Early morning walk onto the heath and this Woodlark was the song that greeted us.

Cardinal (demo)

Birds go crazy in the morning in my neighbourhood so I decided to record it.

Birdsong in the Spring, morning

A song about spring, the reawakening of life.  Warm acoustic melodies blend with organic instrumentation, bird song mixed with peaceful soundscapes

Lyrics:
I've been running through the fields
With the wind wisping the scenery
I guess the blossoms are in bloom
Racing in to springtime
A moment to feel alive
Returning with exploding hues

Days are getting longer
I see the sun
reflecting on
the colours

Bluebells growing
Birdsong soundscaping the sky
In the springtime
In the springtime

Sprouting flowers, daylight hours growing again
Crawling out the cave and see the world come back to life
Our garden paradise

Blue skies come over
In clarity
A path I see
Forward

Bluebells growing
Birdsong soundscaping the sky
In the springtime
In the springtime

Leaves are growing
Flower crowned
And all the bees are buzzing round
All..
The pretty things with wings
Returning

Bluebells growing
Birdsong soundscaping the sky
In the springtime
In the springtime

Baltimore Oriole Sings Gently in the Pine Barrens Soundscape

A Corncrake calling on the island of Iona, Scotland. There is a Skylark calling in the background.

Corncrake

This is that transitional moment in early morning when the robins begin to sing. Robins have a reputation for being early birds, but it is so often that the catbirds are first to begin singing in the morning, long before the robins wake up.

This is the audio from the morning robins video on youtube:

This short recording is of a Great Reed Warbler at Hornsea Mere. East Yorshire
