Review

I'm prepared to bet that this CD of bird song will be among your "most inspiring audios ever" collection. --The Guardian

Product Description

A very popular audio guide which helps to identify the bids that come to our gardens- not just the early morning minstrels that wake us with their songs, but all those that sing around our homes at any time. Features recordings of the typical songs and calls of the fifty-two species most commonly found in British gardens. This CD presents an introduction to learning and identifying bird sounds in your garden. Includes an introductory booklet.

4.0 out of 5 stars good audio recordings of most garden bird songs, 5 July 2009
This review is from: Songs of Garden Birds: The Definitive Audio Guide to British Garden Birds (Audio CD)
Songs of Garden Birds covers 52 species of birds that are common in UK gardens or attracted to our gardens by bird feeders.

The quality of most of the records is excellent and many species have several different clips covering song variants such as dawn song and alarm calls.

The booklet with the CD contains notes on each species covered on the CD and their relationship to our gardens. I prefer this to narration on the CD so you can focus on listening to the bird song itself.

I bought this collection to improve the number of birds I could identify by their song. The range of calls and quantity on the CD has greatly improved the chances of me identifying a bird by its song.

The only downside of this CD is the range of species covered is a little limited, e.g. two gulls are included but only one owl.

If you want a good audio guide to most of the garden species then this is a good buy, if you are looking for help to identify a specific bird in your garden then the complete set by the same publisher would be a better bet than this garden collection.

What can I say, except what the title of the review says? I would have liked the names of the birds to have been announced as part of the audio, but there we are.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, 9 July 2009
By 
K. Bryan "Topmax" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Songs of Garden Birds: The Definitive Audio Guide to British Garden Birds (Audio CD)
Probably my own fault but it doesn't do what I expected.
I expected a recording of bird song with a 'voice over' (or voice under?) of identification.
Instead it is a succesion of different bird song with the necessity to refer to the CD cover to identify the bird, for which you need to keep tabs of exactly where you are in the CD running order.
