So - this bird has been bothering me. I found this on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1SyluTQfHk The nearest thing to the call/song we heard is at 41:49 but with the first syllables only - we didn't hear any 'rattle' at the end Is it in any way possible a ring ouzel could have been in Wor...

When I say slower, slower than Nuthatch but not actually slow. Nuthatch sounds trilly this was definite punctuated sounds

No Gary - definitely not nuthatch - slower call, always 3 each time, much much louder, flutey/thrush quality. We initially thought it could be a warning beeping noise as there was machinery on the park, but the gaps between the calls were not equal, the notes differed in delivery as above - occasion...

Hello. Please can someone help with identifying a bird call/song on Worden Park today Bird was high in tree, some way off and I couldn't get close to see it Very loud call - thrush like quality to the call, but not a thrush - no variation to song like you would expect. 3 x quickly repeated SHUI call...

We were treated to quite a concert last night by a female tawny owl. Very loud Kewicking just outside the bedroom window woke us at about 2 am. This was followed by the female form of the Hoot which I have never heard before - rather hoarse, a bit wobbly and quiet. She had taken up position on an ar...

6 or 7 over Euxton Hall Hospital this afternoon and several screaming over Marley Court yesterday pm.

My son, who lives in Norfolk, phoned this afternoon. He has heard his first Cuckoo of the year. Won't be long before they are back here. Keep your ears and eyes peeled.

Kingfisher carrying food this evening. Surely any young would be self sufficient by now?? It definitely had a fish in its beak and was heading low and fast over the water, obviously on an urgent mission

Quite a large flock (30 or so) over our house just now, all blowing raspberries to each other. I have the door open. Aah the real sounds of Summer

Hi Nora we also have a nest, but its in the air brick for our extractor fan in the downstairs loo. Can't see what species of bee but the sounds they make are amazing, and they seem to be busy at all times of the day and night. There are a variety of smells to experience too and are a tad competitive...

At least 7 Common Terns noisily and fiercely seeing off a Lesser Black Back Gull this afternoon from the rafts at Marshall Hide.

A magpie has just taken one of 'my' young starlings. :( I was alerted by a massive kerfuffle in the garden as the adults tried to chase off the magpie. It dropped the youngster at first but it was already dead and then it came back and flew off with it. At least the magpie young will get their tea. ...

We've just had our first invasion of the year in the garden too. Bang goes my lie in tomorrow morning. They are so NOISY.

Isn't spring ace

I too would say nuthatch, very vocal at the moment
