Every morning and also in the evening when its dark,I hear beautiful birdsong in a tree beside our garden(whatever the weather). The above is an approximaion of what it sounds like.Anybody got any ideas as to what it might be.

I might have known you'd be the first to answer. Seriously though its really lovely and I enjoy it every day. I did wonder about a thrush but do they sing at night.

I often heard a thrush late in the evening in my last garden. They sing in a very repetitive way.

My latest singing bird here is the blackbird but then I have yet to see a thrush in this garden.

Mind you...it is winter so it could be a Robin hanging on to its territory and preparing to find a mate by getting his voice in tune.

Robin?

Robins sing at night - sometimes in the middle of the night

Thank you for the links Hypo and tambourine will try them later and report back.

Actually, I regret posting that link now. It's the most un-Robin like sound sample I've ever heard and if I'd listened to it blindfold, I would be struggling to choose an ID, or saying it's a species I'd not heard before.

I've come across the Xeno-canto website (source of the sound clip RSPB is using) previously and it's based somewhere on the continent, so all the recordings will be of song variations that British birds don't resemble. Annoying.

Hi giveup. If it's a Song Thrush it will sing the same phrase over and over again, beautifully of course. But Robin would be my first guess as they are the most often heard bird singing at this time of year at any time of the day or night. Lovely.
