Re: Bird ID with sounds at 1am?

"My" Robin has a wonderfully loud song reserved for the early hours, especially when the weather's a little milder. Its day time version is a more subdued, rambling affair.

I think the louder song forms part of a pre-dawn chorus, because all the other Robins in the neighbourhood are at it when "he" starts. So I guess it's a competitive, territorial thing.

I'm supplying him with extra mealworms at the moment to give him the competitive edge
