Title: Berd song
Post by: GROWLER on June 06, 2010, 07:20:08 AM: We've got this berd that makes the most delightful noise, but I don't know what it is.
Doin' me head in it is. Banghead

Any 'twitchers' in here....not that anyone would problee admit to it like. lol:

Its tune is extremely wide and varied. No two tweets appear to be the same.
Tweets, chirps, squeaks, whistles, you name it, we get it all, and it goes on for ages.

Sounds like a happy little chappy whatever/whoever he is. cloud9:

One day last week I was working from home using the patio table as my desk cloud9: and as I was doing certain tasks was adding comments to the dictaphone. I never noticed one bird song until I reviewed the dictaphone two days later and was struck by all the song that was going on around me ... lovely

If you think it is a "garden" or wild bird listen here to identify it.
Try Blackbird or Robin ~ obviously there are many on the list you can rule out without listening to them. Mallard for example.

Listening to various berd somgs on Useless Tube last night, and the Thrush actually does come quite close.

Can obviously hear it...it's in a big tree over the road, but can't and haven't actually seen it to confirm.
Sound absolutely magnificent. cloud9:
