They are very busy those birds.
I love watching them. My dogs have a fur like undercoat and I saved some put it out in the garden, it felt great seeing the birds filling their bills with it to line their nests. |

We have robins nesting in our huge clematis and they provide a daily treat with their wonderful song throughout the day. Unusually we have no resident blackbirds this year so we're missing the evenings when the male would sit up on the roof and sing away to his heart's content. Magpies raided their nest last year and took all the chicks so maybe that has something to do with it.  |

The Blackbirds are unusally very thin on the ground around my area this year. There is however plenty of Robins, Goldfinches, Great Tits and Long Tail Tits providing the music. Magpies and Jackdoors also seem to have moved into the neighborhood recently. |

When you get the chance to find somewhere away from people in the countryside, just sit quietly and close your eyes for a while. After a few minutes you will be amazed at the wildlife sounds you hear once your eyes have lost priority over your other senses. Even more interesting at night... |

"We have wood pigeons nesting near our back garden and it’s so relaxing listening to them of an afternoon. "
When our eldest was very young he used to make a weird repetitive noise every so often and we could not work out what it was or why they were doung it for ages. Then it dawned on us. We've always had a 'resident' pair of woodpigeons (not the same ones obviosuly) and one or other always used to sit on the roof cooing early in the morning and that was the noise he was making.

"It has to be my favourite sound in nature  "
Everyone has a favourite time of year and April is mine on sunny warm days or at least on sunny days I like nature in general and the sounds of the birds singing is very special Indeed. |

"I like it when the goldfinches appear in my garden and started their songs before landing on the feeders."
We have a pair nesting next door now they did last year too not sure how successful they were or will be but they seem quite unperturbed by human activity stunning little birds and exquisite nest builders.

"There is a birdsong radio station
R"
For my birthday this year I got a clock by the RSPB that sings a different bird song on the hour from 6am in the morning to 9pm the Nightingale and Blackbird really stand out amongst other birds..  |
