Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the definitive CD of bird noises, and covers all 175 species encountered in the UK. The quality of the recordings is very good, as one would expect from a British Library badged product, and as an aid to aural identification this is a useful resource, with each species separated into discrete tracks. Each track is introduced verbally by a gentleman who sounds like he'd really rather have been doing something else than voice tagging bird noises, but his diction is crystal clear and accentless. It's a 2 CD set, with passerines on one CD, and non-passerines on the other.
Not really one for the dinner party or the individual wanting to relax to the sound of birdsong, but peerless as a reference resource. I find I'm now wandering round my local area and managing to pick out individual species much more clearly.

Format:Audio CD
This was bought as a gift for my wife who is very interested in birdlife and needed a recording of bird calls to help her recognise species when she was out in the countryside. The CD is perfect for that purpose and has been a great help to her.

Format:Audio CD
An excellent aid to distinguishing the birds you can hear but can't see. With the tracks downloaded onto an Ipod you can take the sounds to the birds.Well worth the investment.

Handy in the garden
Great on my phone. Hear a bird you don't know? It will more than likely be included. Can be long-winded to find but I don't see a way around it. Well worth the money.
