Overview
An RSPB-licensed audio and print guide to help you enjoy and understand the birdsong of Britain's best known bird species
Birdsong is the natural soundtrack to our lives and it can evoke a powerful sense of time, place and season. Often profoundly beautiful, it's also the most effective way to discover many birds, and birds' songs and calls reveal a lot about their lives and behaviour. But identifying which bird is making which sound can seem very challenging, especially to beginner birdwatchers.
Adrian Thomas's groundbreaking and easy-to-use guide can help anyone to learn and identify bird sounds step by step and at their own pace. Whether you are an experienced birdwatcher or just enjoy hearing the birds in your garden, his simple approach will open your ears to the amazing songs and calls around you.
This guide and its accompanying audio files combine to create an RSPB-endorsed sound guide to more than 100 songs and calls of 65 garden, woodland and farmland birds. The book also includes a reference section describing the sounds of a further 185 birds of Britain and north-west Europe as well as beautiful colour photographs, annotated sonograms and 'test yourself' sections.
