I quite enjoyed this though the Robin was a poor recording and the carrion crow was not right. Also I got the goldcrest wrong which surprised me to be honest, I wonder if there is a regional variation in some species?
@@marcussmith7694 There are regional variation but also differences in the type of call. The robin recording is not great but hopefully this will be improved in future videos. Thanks for watching and thank you for commenting. 👍
Took me back to my primary school days way back in the 1940's. We went on nature walks and I recognised all by sight and most by song. It's something that stays with you.
We have a very loud bird in our garden and he almost shouts " mirror, mirror" for hours sometimes. I hear mirror, mirror but not everyone agrees with me. I can't see the bird as we have huge trees in our garden in worcestershire. Do you have any idea what bird could that be? Thank you.
@@ekaterinas.1330 I don't know, but we DO know what he's saying! I you hear him again, tell him he's the loveliest bird in the land!!! He'll be pleased to hear it!!!
My kids and I love this, they are getting to know loads of great bird sounds playing this game, do you have any more? Thank you for a great resource. 👍
The bird pictured and captioned is a purple heron which I have seen visiting a lake in the Forest of Dean two years running. It is rare but quite distinguishable from the other larger herons. I do not know about the call or song.
There are two british records of Great Blue Heron, from the Isles of Scilly. I saw the second one, but it is a bit mean to give us GB Heron. I only got 29/30 as a result.🙂
My thoughts as well. I was so disappointed with that as the robin is one of my favourite songbirds and I've never heard that sound coming out of one's beak. I'm in UK so maybe they have different call elsewhere🤔
Yes, that robin sounded weird - where I live, we have blocks of flats overlooking our gardens and they have sodium arc floodlights turned on at dusk (automatic) and a robin appears to have built its nest in the glare of one of those lights = about 3 o’clock in the morning it wakes up and starts singing/tweeting, on its own while it is still dark 🤭. Sometimes a black bird wakes up and is tweeting on its own/accompanying the robin = both are affected by the light pollution of the flats ☹️. Eventually we get the dawn chorus when all the other birds start singing at 4 - 5 o’clock in the morning when the sky turns blue and the sun rises 🙂
My sister has a pond in the garden with lots of frogs. When I visit I always tell her (I live downtown a city) how great this is to listen to, pure nature. She say yes, it is a pain in the ears hearing it every night ☺️
Beautiful every day sounds , that we take for granted , when I was small child , where I lived there was a deafening dawn chorus , as I grew older and developers came in and converted a small wooded area into houses the chorus greatly diminished , we all need to be careful about what we are doing with our environment !
Absolutely agree. The reduction in our planet's biodiversity is already having a huge impact on us, yet it seems to have crept up without us noticing. Thanks for the comment. 👍
Well it didn’t help that in order to get to learn them I asked my son to put a blackbird as a ring tone on my phone for me. I can’t do things like this. Anyway after 2 weeks of the phone chirping blackbird song at me I discovered he’d put a willow warbler on instead.
I used to live in Portsmouth, but moved to Scotland some years ago. I believe that just like human beings, birds have a different dialect in different locations. Several of the birds I hear in Scotland on this list sound different from the "chatter" from my Portsmouth days. Some of the differences are really discernable...just like, Geordie to Scouser...or Scottish.!!
I thought a dunnock and house sparrow were the same bird but no 😬Dunnock has a thinner beak! 😜My blue tits 🤭 do an ascending "chi chi chi chi chi' but its not included here 😀 Sadly my cat keeps the birds away.
Lovely to listen to having just had a wood walk and heard some of them. The chaffinch call in the wild nearly brings me to tears it's so beautiful. Just made a quick a soup whilst listening...thank you for a sweet and thoughtful upload x
I don't really know why I'm here. I'm not British. I'm supposed to read a book about soundscapes for my electroacoustics class. But somehow I like learning about birds that may or may not live in my country better. (Also, the heron was REALLY surprising, it sounded like a barking dog at first. I've seen them, but I've never give much thought to what sound they make.)
I came here specifically to learn who woke me up on this hungover Sunday morning and it was a JAY, should've known, my mum always complains about them! But I also ended up learning quite a bit and being surprised by the ones I did know :)
Very good. Huge shame about the Great Blue Heron rather than Grey Heron. One was seen on the Isles of Scilly in April/May 2015, none since. And poor robin is rather wonky. But otherwise a really excellent learning aid for people.
You missed probably one of the most beautiful British birds calls ever the Curlew!! you never forget it either especially on spectacular summer evenings.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, thankyou! We recently moved and get a lot more birds, I’m completely useless at identifying them, by call or sight. This video is a great way of learning both! And it brightened up my day. I’m off outside now :D
Thanks for your efforts in making this video. I think it's helped me identify a Nightingale which being in the city is a rare song to hear. I think years of feeding the starlings and sparrows is paying off. Would be great if you really expanded this video with more birds and varieties of their calls. I've heard Robins talk to me very quietly and it's so different to their call for example.
My parents have a clock on their kitchen wall which has little pictures of various British birds on it and emits a random snatch of one of those birds' songs every time an hour is completed.
The first photo of 'Song thrush' was a Mistle thrush. A lot of these didn't sound like they had the 'British accent'. Especially the dunnock. As for the great blue heron sneaking in and being included as a 'British bird', not yet.
@@ianlewis3023 hi Ian. I think there’s a difference between something being on the British list and being a ‘British Bird’ and I think it’s definitely a stretch to call Great Blue Heron a British Bird
All the birds sounded beautiful we have lost so many due to barn conversions so much country side due to roads building all going through green belt land.
I’ve just recently bought myself some high powered binoculars and a bird book been out to my local golf course walking around loving the bird watching!!!! NEVER tried it before but it’s so relaxing to the mind and soul. At my golf course I’ve seen a lot red kites/green parakeets/robins/magpies and I also watch that squirrels jumping far from tree to tree amazing!!! In this video I have to say my BEST bird sound was the Tawny Owl. Mysterious bird WISH I can see one one day:) or night
I have noticed a lot of stick though when I tell people I’ve bought some binoculars and I’m taking up bird watching, I’ve been called a peodifile, peeping Tom etc I get negative looks from some people Aswel When I’m walking, sod I don’t care what anyone thinks of me anymore, I’ve spent most of my life worrying what people think, tbh I HATE human beings, much prefer nature
@@jamesmcrory3419 don't worry what other people think. They're not living YOUR LIFE! You are! Just be true to yourself and do what's right for YOUR mental health
There's one I was hoping would come up that I hear in a friend's garden. It is a little one note ascending whistle, then a pause, then a one note descending whistle. It's very cute and makes me smile.
@@ThrashZone11 it could be thanks, I have seen Yellowhammers in the vicinity. It sounds like those old slide whistles, one note ascending the next descending, it's very unusual and quite comical.
I think I got all right except the Starling and Coal tit. The Carrion Crow must have some regional accents because I have not hearm them quite like this. Could you increase the number of birds on your list. Wow them all with the Golden Oriole, we have this lovely bird visit most summers, hardly ever see them but often hear them.
I think that I may have just found the identity of a bird that I have listened to for years & often wondered what it was! all I knew was that it has a black head & beautiful song that sounds quite sad at times, Coal Tit I strongly believe, & I found it on your site just now! a huge thankyou.
Apart from the Great Blue Heron (not a British species though odd ones have made it here), these all sound fine. I've never heard a British Grey Heron make any sound at all.
Great video . The wife and I really enjoyed playing. However it would have been good to have a few seconds longer to identify them before the picture appears. More please.
Where I live (Fife coast) one of my favourite bird calls at the moment is the male eider duck. Sounds surprised, or a bit like Kenneth Williams saying oooh, matron!
Here in East of England I have been hearing (mostly during the afternoon and early morning) a bird that sounds like a large squeaky toy, not a little squeak but a loud squeak similar to a dog toy. Two notes, haven’t heard it for a few days.

Hello , the falcon at the top left is an American Kestrel which doesn't occur naturally in Britain

Fantastic, it’s amazing to sit down on a sunny day somewhere where the birds singing are the only sounds. Time stands still
Have been studying ornithology for nearly 70 years. These sounds ARE very regional !
Yeh they chirp differently in lancashire
Yes, a Wren from the Scillies sounds very different from one on the mainland!

Great Blue Heron pictured and captioned is an american species. In the Uk we have Grey Heron
Yup, and it doesn't sound like any GBH around here. (Canada)
The bird pictured and captioned is a purple heron which I have seen visiting a lake in the Forest of Dean two years running. It is rare but quite distinguishable from the other larger herons. I do not know about the call or song.

@@kieranfoster902 I'm from Canada's west coast, I got 0/30. Don't feel too bad. And the only one I could have easily identified is not GBH.
Was wondering about the Great Blue too. A North American bird - only sighted twice in Britain! Grey herons up here in Scotland.
Interesting, but something went wrong with the robin recording...

That was the weirdest Robin I’ve ever heard 😳
yes! I'd never have got it, and I know robins well
So it wasn't just me thinking that sounded odd.
I like the way there's photos first then later the name, which gives time to guess the bird.
This was great fun and beautifully presented. Many thanks.
Sparrows are nesting about 1m from my open bedroom window . It's a love hate thing at 5am.
I get the starlings, similarly. Fascinating to watch nontheless!

I had no idea robins could kill with their calls. Bloody heck
🤣
That was fun and a great spring refresher course. I have never heard a robin make that sound though 🤔
I think the mike was too close. I had the same problem.
Yeah the recording of the robin has ton of audio clipping distortion and sounds horrible compared to its real song.
We have had some bullfinches visit recently, but I love this. Very helpful 😀

I have heard a number make a squawking noise, as if to claim, defend territory.
Grey Heron is known as "Frank" to country folk. It's an onamatopoeic name because it makes a loud honking "Frank....frank" call.
Beautiful birds. Thank you

I think you mean "Grey Heron" Ardea cinerea (No such thing as a Blue Heron in the wild in Britain)
I think the first heron picture is the grey heron. The second picture of the heron is the blue heron. (Pictures mixed up?) Look at the head on each.
That was a lot of fun and I got about half of them right. Proud I recognized the tawny owl!

Lovely photos we are lucky we see all but 2 of them in or above our garden never seen a lapwing, or a dunnock
Thanks for playing along. 👍
Really good. I now know that the loud bird noise in the garden is a wren. Never been able to see it.
#21 - Nightingale sounded like my old clio when the electrics packed in 😅😂😂
Excellent vid.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👍
Actually got 20 or so correct much to my astonishment .
I have heard the wren so many times and never knew that's what it was!
Really helpful
