What Is This Bird?

[mrs_overall]

Somewhere near our house is a bird that sings all through the night, non stop. It sounds like a blackbird but surely they don't sing all night long?

Probably a robin - they sing in the middle of the night. The one on my tree is quite vocal at the moment.

if it's singing 'all through the night' it's probably a welsh bird

Blackbirds will sing all night if the light levels don't fall enough, do you have bright street lighting which stays on all night?

[Chipchopper]

Robins are known to sing under street lights.

I'd go with blackbird, often hear them round here chirping away in the early hours !

I didn't realise until he got up that the other night Mr O recorded it. We have compared it to an on line recording of birds and it IS a blackbird.
It must be insomniac

It is (supposed to be) Spring so many birds are proclaiming their territory and [re]-establishing their pair bond.

Mrs O can be territorial about her marigolds...
