Nice insight into the songs of the more common garden birds May 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this CD after wanting to better appreciate and recognise bird song. The CD is based upon a Radio 4 series and is set out in episodes. Each episode covers different bird groups - thrushes, titmice, finches, etc. Each area is discussed and bird song is played with the two commentators discussing the key indentifiable points, variations and how to use mnemonics to help recognise the songs. They also discuss how to identify the birds visually and often throw in some light-hearted facts relating to each species.
Generally this is a very good CD for the novice bird watcher to listen to. The only improvement that I can think of is having a further CD that relates to the less common birds not covered in this CD. That however is up to someone at BBC Radio 4!!
