Night Time Song Bird?

[-John]

Hello everybody, was wondering whether anyone could help me out on this one...

In our front garden, every night sits a song bird high up in a tree. This bird constantly sings all night long and seems to be singing to another bird, although I'm not sure you can make it out on the recording. However, I just cannot figure out what this bird could be, even after listening to all the nocturnal bird songs on the RSPB website.
I live in a suburb of London, with many mature trees around live 50 metres from the River Thames and plenty of parks.

I enclose a link to a youtube video I made of the bird song, No picture as at 2 o'clock in the morning! Also, I apologise for the sound interference, but had to brave heavy rain!

Hoping someone can solve this mystery, the songs are very noisy at night, and while I'm lying there awake I'd like to know what I am listening to! I do have an idea though. Found this Link earlier

To me, the best I can make out is a Robin?

Thanks very much in advance,
John

Hi John- it's a Robin singing. They quite commonly sing at night, especially where there is some artificial lighting such as street lamps.

Wow, never thought I'd hear Robin signing in the dead of night. Thought I'd found a real mystery!

Thanks very much for your swift replies.
