Birdsong for ID

[vole-woman]

I was in a field in north Shropshire just now, standing by the marshy edge of a lake, and I made this recording: YouTube - birdsong Can anyone identify any of the birds calling?

Many thanks!

There seem to be a few there, but the first one with the alternating call sounds like a chiffchaff to me.

Have a listen to this one The RSPB: Chiffchaff

Definitely a chiff-chaff, and some reed warblers (and a plane)

[vole-woman]

Oh, yes, that chiff chaff's the same as mine. Off to investigate reed warblers now.

Yep, that sounds similar, too. Thanks.

Anything else in there?

[Hedera]

There's a blackbird (near the beginning and the end) in the background.

Before scrolling down and reading the replies already given, I identified all four of the sounds already mentioned (Chiffchaff, Reed Warbler, Blackbird and plane) but couldn't hear anything else. The Blackbird is actually singing throughout but is drowned out by the rest.

Roy.

Thanks. It was an interesting place; full of toads. I must go back and have a proper look around.
