Loved this! I've got to get out of London more... craving to hear those bird calls. And i've never heard of a stock dove - so another new bird to add to my list!

We have Stock Doves here in Bucks (just outside High Wycombe) so not too far to travel to find them. They seem to be very territorial and you regularly hear them calling in the same spots. We had one feeding in the garden the other day, together with a Collared Dove and a Woodpigeon all at the same time!
With all the noise from electronic devices, cooling fans, and traffic, it's nice to listen to the sounds of nature 🙂 it's not easy to find many places in the westmidlands that are not polluted by sound! HS2 is being built straight through the countryside near where I live now! It's completely cut off a SSSI that was accessible via fields and hedgerows to countryside.

i heard that birds are starting to mimic the sounds of everything around them like phones notifications and car horns?
Lovely video footage sounds of the birds " Trying to find Wild life Reedbed bird sounds !!!! But thank you I enjoyed it ..
House Martins nest under the eaves, right above our bedroom window, so I'm *very* familiar with that call ! 😄

This morning there was a starling at my feeder doing it's best to sound like a curlew & doing a bloody good job at it too.
Birds are so cute, I enjoyed this. I love your enthusiasm in these videos!
Aww lovely birds! Lovely to see too
Simply wonderful!!
Nice one Liam, really helpful to focus on bird calls and songs, and a double helping! Great stuff!
Enjoyed that, I hear and see herring gulls over my house most days, I love to hear them. Thanks, great vid.

Thank you. So the hedge sparrow is actually a bird called the Dunnock - I made a video specifically about them 4 vids back. Then we have house sparrows as shown in this video and there is also a rarer bird called a tree sparrow which I'll cover in the future at some point. Cheers

will Jackdaw do a single chirp, that is loud, and quite squeaky sounding? It sounds like something I have not noticed before, and I thought it could be a Bird of Prey, possibly. Been noticing it the last few days especially. We do have a lot of different Corvids in the area though, so it could be one of these. I recognise the regular Crow noises right away, this doesn't sound like that. It's only ever a single chirp though, maybe a couple with little intervals in between.
Very interesting. I've seen most of these in the Netherlands

I keep hearing a bird where I walk but never see it. It makes a noise like a bass drop. Starts super high pitched and drops down to low before stopping. (One long continuous sound) Any ideas what it could be ? Its a pretty cool sound

Yes, I think I might be able to help (if my understanding of a bass drop is right). Search up the long call of a greenfinch. Let me know if that's the one, if not I'll keep trying lol.

@@AShotOfWildlife I think I found it. A starling. I found this video and the sound that it makes in the first few seconds is very close, albeit, if it was , they can actually extend this sound for 5 full seconds at least. Pretty cool stuff. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJ2Zy8azodK5l5s.html Thanks for reply and have a nice week !
What kind of bird goes "hee hoo hee hoo hee hoo hee hoo" but really fast and in a high pitch. Usually starts at 4am.

Probably a fox . They can bark like that at any time of year but mainly in January when they are mating . It can sometimes sound almost human .

About the herring gull and the collard dove, isnt it more accurate to say "European herring gull" and "Eurasian collard dove"?
@theotheseaeagle
Жыл бұрын
No, because the common names are herring gull and Eurasian collared dove. Unlike birds such as the European blackbird, where sometimes you may have to include the European part to prevent confusion for American audiences with the red winged blackbird, Eurasian collared doves don’t have any counterparts with similar names, the same goes for herring gulls, so putting the European and Eurasian part is unnecessary (you still can if you want, but you don’t have to worry about people getting confused)

The list is completely random. I listed every bird I could get footage and the song of and then put it in a random generator. The background music is to keep the pace going.

All sound great ,but not a lot of use to anyone in a town . I've never even seen a white tailed eagle, and as for ducks and sea birds yr don't get many in the centre of town. Not really practical as it says for the beginner.

I live in Dorset but sometimes visit my son in Islington . Trust me there is plenty of bird life in our cities , from my son’s balcony I can see crows jackdaws herring gulls robins blackbirds and starlings and magpies . even saw a pair of jays once . And if we go down to regents canal far more water birds than you see in the country .
