This is a very straightforward and useful book and cd that provides an introduction to the person wishing to know what the bird calls they can hear are in their garden. The audio CD allows you to listen and learn the most common garden birds which you can then listen out for. Great!

If you're a beginner to bird songs and calls, this is the CD for you. Geoff Sample's soft voice introduces each bird in turn so that each song or call can easily be compared with any other on the CD. It is superb and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Not much singing on this CD. The birds don`t put any effort into learning the words, they tend to just whistle, tweet and sqwark somewhat like the X-Factor contestants. This is a shame really as you would think if someone went to the touble of giving them a recording contract they would at least know the words.
I blame the nightingales -they just show off. The best song on there is the crows who sound just like amy winehouse.
It should be called "Garden Bird Noise" as songs was a bit misleading for me.
