Most Common British Birds & Birdsong Identification
Narration and Information from here: 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.
Most common British birds and their songs and calls not in order:
Wren
Wood pigeon
Gold finch
Blackbird
Collared dove
House sparrow
Blue tit
Great tit
Starling
Song thrush
Chaffinch
Robin
A report in 2020 on bird populations by the British Trust of Ornithology has revealed the UK’s most common birds, it suggests the wren has become the UK’s ‘commonest bird’, with over 11 million pairs. In second place was the robin, with 7.35 million pairs, the third was the House sparrow: 5.3 million pairs and Woodpigeon: 5.15 million pairs with Chaffinch and blackbird: 5.05 million pairs (each).

I can’t imagine life without birdsong…..
You might have to get used to the idea unless we can get rid of the Tories
I recently oved to a very rural area of England and have become obsessed with birds and birdsong. I see Red Kites, Buzzards, numerous types of finches on long dog walks. I have rekindled a childhood passion for birds since moving out of the city. I had forgotten just how wonderful our avian friends are.
Thank you. Very informative and beautifully presented and narrated. Our birds are simply wonderful.
I didn’t expect to come across such a well spoken and produced Chanel!
Thank you for this. I found the calls easy to pick out, and the added descriptions of the birdsong very useful. There were just a couple that I feel could have been extended, but this is a very informative video 😊
Fantastic tutorial on birds and birdsong, very clear and informative, excellent explanatory videos, many thanks indeed.
Bird song in the morning is fever pitch here in the mornings , very lucky to have inherited a landscaped bird garden. Tapping into its magic powers, this is joy itself.
Very educational indeed. Thanks very much.
Absolutely brilliant video, subject and teaching. I'm so pleased to have found your channel. You certainly deserve many more subscribers. Thank you for such a wonderful presentation.
Thank you so much ,I shall try my best to help our birds
Very informative, but would have appreciated more time hearing the bird sounds without any voice-overs or music playing in the background. Thanks.
Ah talking over all the bird song. Excellent
I’m really sorry you didn’t enjoy the video 😢
Enjoyed that - re. bird friendly trees, birds love my to steal my cherries! The little blighters!
Amazing video thankyou, have been looking for a video that shows all uk birds songs! One song had caught my ears and i really wanted to know the bird and its the last song of the song thrush! 8:36 as thenones near me seem to sing that one alot!

5:25 chaffinch song

Now i finally know what that noise is- it's a great tit! Lovely sunny day woodland walk sound 💖
A very informative video Abbie, I really enjoyed it. We always look out and listen for the birds when walking in our local park.
Just a couple of things to add for people who are getting into birdwatching, please, please, please don’t use the netting type feeders as the birds can get their feet tangled in the netting. The RSPB are trying to get them banned from sale. If you put up bird feeders, ensure you clean them out regularly with water to avoid disease.
The picture at 3.47 is NOT a Wood Pigeon. More like a Feral Pigeons (Rock Dove)
Thank you very much ❤🐣
Sorry for UT typos.
That was interesting thank you
I loved this video. May I suggest each clip of birdsong is longer and slightly louder.
Thank you. It was beautiful. Now UK parks are full of life. When I walk there, I can hear so many birds. It is just wonderful. But, in fact, I just recognize 1 or 2 ;-). It is difficult and I think- you have to be a master to recognize their singing.
I've also heard that birds that live in the city are trying to be louder now because of streets noise.
When I was young in the 80s and 90s I remember a lot of talk about wrens and sparrows being endangered. I wonder if the heating climate has allowed more of them to survive the milder winters and their populations to expand so much
Rarely see house sparrows at all now. They were the most common when I was a kid. And I don’t recall the last time I saw a wren
@@personalcheeses8073 Come to London. Many in and around our gardens.
Thanks,
Nothing more beautiful than hearing mr black bird after having a night of horrendous nightmares
I hear a two tone deep bird sound at dusk in the woods and Cabot identify it, the first syllable is shorter and the second longer and rising I’ve listened to no end of videos. Didn’t sound like a small bird. Location north east england
Informative, but too many times the narration blocked the sounds of the bird !!!
I can confirm that sparrows are scarce in most of Britain. They’re all in my garden…..
I actually saw a pair of collared doves mating on my garden fence last year
What a treat!
Good video Abbie and very informative. I like waking up with the birds too. Keep up the good work and you will get to where you want to be 👍🏻
Thankyou!
😊👍
same birds here in greece and landscapes. thats why uk is my 2nd favorite country for these 2 reasons, birds-nature. im 31 birdwatching hobby starts at the age of 8, my most favorite family of my beloved animals and millions of others i believe, are this of the insect eating birds, stonechats, robins, redstarts, flycatchers etc, hope you understand me i dont know all their names in english!:P
greetings to british people from greece, love you
robin in greek is called as redthroat(actually is orange not red:P) kokkino(red) laimis(throat), stonechat is called mauro(black) laimis(throat) all together maurolaimis due to his black throat in fields clasically as you know him there, redstart is called here kokkino(red) tailed(ouris) kokkino-ouris due to his red tail, some of our birds in my language, about collared dove, its have been said that it have 18 tails here in greece this bird is called as dekaoxto(number 18 in greek) and tail(oura) all together deka oxtoura) and except from the fact that im saying above, this bird seems to say the number 18 to its call(in greek language it absolutely matches) thats why gave her this name. many other people reproducing nightingales and goldfinches a beautiful hobby) one guy in my town reproduce robins thats all as a p.s~!
Thank you! Have there been any changes in population in the UK? 😊
With the title, got to say i was hoping for just back to back excerpts of bird song with video showing the bird and a caption identifying it. This is a lot of video to watch with superfluous information, while trying to identify a song i heard
Hey mam, I have seen your previous video on crocodile species,can you do the same video on all big cats by starting with lions and Tell us the measures should be taken to conserve them.
Loved your content ❤️.
I so agree 🐦🦃🦆🦉🦅
I think we have all of these in my current garden
Good point about stopping pet cats from killing birds - if more cat owners did that it would make a big difference to bird numbers!
6:45 😂
3:49 errrr just saying, those are rock doves not wood pigeons
Apologies… I’m expecting mistakes with the stock. The stock labels aren’t always reliable unfortunately. Birds can look very different throughout their stages of development so I’m sure I’ve probably overlooked some images/video but I tried my best! Thanks for pointing out 😊
@@AnimalEducate no problem :)
Sadly this year I seem to have lost all my garden birds 🤬. Intend to get a trail cam to see whats what....
I did the same 😊
If your birds are disappearing it means they are tending to their nests and aren’t bothering to come to your garden because there’s already enough natural foods about
In my garden I have over 20 feeders, but baths and squirrel feeders, but what do I get ?
About 90% are starlings and the remainder sparrows,pigeons and blackbirds.
I wish I could see a nice variety instead of bullies who take over... even the pigeons are scared of them !😥
Your eyes frightened i
💚🌍🕯️🌱
Wow you are beautiful
Thank you, lovely birds, for some people they are the only wildlife they see. We need rewilding in Britain. Btw please replace the loud music with something more mellifluous and in keeping with nature.
Why is there a church organ in the background completely drowning out the bird song?
Thanks for your constructive feedback 😊👍
I thought this video will be of their singing 😢
great video but your intro clip scared the life out of me
What a shame to go to such trouble and produce a beautiful-looking film, but then to give such short snatches of birdsong and make them compete with that awful call-centre muzak.
I’m sorry 😢
@@AnimalEducate Oh dear. I wish I'd been a bit kinder now. It certainly is a lovely film and you deserve great credit for putting it together.
@@bretcollins5172 it’s ok feedback is always appreciated x
@@bretcollins5172 and Thankyou
First
DONT,,use plastic mesh diy feeders as the small legs get tangled and leaves the bird hanging upside down, ,,,,ok.
Magpies are terrible for taking young and egg's from smaller bird's even though it's nature.
Lovely bunch of chemtrails behind you in this video. Sadly.
Chem what?
You were talking over the birdsong!!! 🤬
Hey, I’ve just checked each bird sound and I made sure to include the bird sound without any voiceover at the end of my explanation. Sorry if it still confuses you! I think there’s lots of videos on TH-cam that just focus on their sounds. If you want I can get some links for you? 😊
