Birdsong Beginner - How to Recognize birds and songs - is it a robin, a blackbird or a warbler?


How to recognize bird songs of robins and blackbirds and other common garden birds in the UK.
And of course, gardens , if you like to walk along the streets of the suburbs, or in the parks.

Robins
Who knew that robins have two types of song, for summer and winter? 

Blackbird photo from Wikipedia.

Blackbirds
Who knew the blackbird's song was so special? 

Wood Warbler. Photo from Wikipedia. Notice the line at the eye.

Warblers
Who knew there were three types of warbler, not just a word but a type of bird, with different patterns around the eyes. One has a black cap for the male, but a reddish-brown hat for the lady? Not a blackbird but a black cap warbler. 

Royal Society For The Protection Of Birds
You can get out to RSPB sites, when social mingling allows, or watch online. Meanwhile, lots of garden gifts from the RSPB gift shop.

Useful Websites
Lots of info on British birds and the bird count you can join in during the start of the year.
Lots of gifts and garden items and books and charts.

All kinds of birds including penguins and ostriches
