Most Common British Birds & Birdsong Identification

Narration and Information from here: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/bird-s...

In the UK you can generally hear birdsong all year but what species you hear singing and how much will vary depending on the time of year and hour of the day. Whether you live in the city or the countryside, there is usually a lovely chorus of birds to enjoy. It’s easy to just sit back and allow their beautiful song to take you away to nature's paradise. More often than not, you hear birds but you don't see them. Wouldn't it be amazing to hear their song and know the species? Even to know what the call means? Identifying birds is so much fun and is a great tool for helping wildlife.

The UK has a wide variety of birdlife as it contains important breeding and wintering sites for many species. Birds that have been recorded in a wild state in Britain are included on the British list. Some breed here in the millions whereas others may have only been seen here once. The British list is maintained by the British Ornithologists Union (BOU) and as of June 2021 the British List stands at 626 species.

Bird song or call?

Birds that produce songs are known as songbirds and although most bird species around the world make some sort of call fewer produce songs. A song is probably the most familiar type of bird sound. Songs are the tuneful vocalisations made throughout the day, especially in the morning. The songs are more often sung by male birds marking out territory or trying to attract the attention of females.

The dawn chorus is an intense period of birdsong, which starts about an hour before sunrise, begins around March, and continues to July, corresponding with the mating season.
It's also not unusual to hear birdsong throughout the night, particularly the robin.
