Urban bird sounds for ID please

[loripo]

Have gathered a few videos I made to record sounds, and only able to guess at one...

‪Which birds are these?‬‏ - YouTube

Please excuse the wind and the planes

I should know these by now!

1) Green Woodpecker
2) bugging me I really should know this! It Greenfinchy but I know it's not
3) Goldfinch
4) Song Thrush
5) Can't hear very well but might be Song Thrush again

That was my initial thought, but I couldn't find anything online that matched but I think you might be right with it.

2nd is a chaffinch 'rain' call. I have searched for why its called that and I have come to one conclusion, that due to popular belief its forcasting rain... (thats only what i read....)

Just like cows sitting down means it's going to rain I suppose

That one was in April - so it may well have rained
Interesting - I'll have to look that up.

Found one here:

xeno-canto/Europe :: bird sounds from Europe :: chaffinch

17th one down I think, location Vombs Enge.



Not quite sure this is the "rain call", as it has a rising inflection. Dunno.

Great thanks I'll have to remember that one
