- Songbirds learn their songs and perform them using a specialized voice box called a syrinx. Vocally, they’re in a league of their own. These adaptations have been remarkably successful— songbirds make up almost half of the world’s 10,000 bird species including warblers, thrushes, and sparrows.

- Great tit.
- Blue tit.
- Starling.
- House sparrow.
- Woodlark. A tear-jerkingly lovely cascade of pearly notes but varied each time to create a stunning wild solo. Not well known as this species clings to our rare lowland heaths where it delivers its virtuoso performances mostly in early spring.
- Blackbird. Warm spring evenings and lazy blackbird song are the stuff of the best childhood memories. And for adults, the perfect accompaniment to a G&T in the garden.
- Song thrush. We think the song thrush matches the nightingale and then some with a rich, beautiful and varied song style. It repeats its cascading phrases so that we get to know them – once memorable phrase includes “snowy, snowy, snowy”.
- Nightingale. Many would argue that the nightingale should be number one. The powerful, stunningly clear fluted notes delivered in short, ever-varying bursts lights up the dusk thicket.
- Blackbird. An early riser, with a clear and confident voice. The beautiful song is low-pitched and given in short, fluty verses that seem to stop abruptly.
- Mistle thrush. Mistle thrushes begin to sing in winter, often from the top of a tall tree. The song is similar to a blackbird's, but rather than ending abruptly the mistle thrush trails off almost absentmindedly.
- Song thrush. Often the most confident voice in the dawn chorus, and one of the earliest to start singing. Listen for loud, clear verses repeated 2-4 times.
- Robin. Like the larger thrushes, robins start singing early in the morning. The song is clear and beautiful, comprised of rippling notes and whistles. Robins are one of the few birds to sing all through winter.
