Bird ID by song?

Bijdezee · June 2018

I have heard and recorded some beautiful singing which I think is a sort of warbler among the reeds by the dyke at the end of my garden.

I cannot upload the file here as its only for image files. Anyone know of a good forum for this? The rspb was my first thought but they want all my info including a UK address and doesnt work if you are in Belgium like me. No doubt they want it to bombard me with junk mail. I know what they are like.

Any twitchers or birders here?

You could up load the file to Youtube or Soundcloud and then post it here, or anywhere.

I'd love to hear it.

Great Reed Warbler

Acrocephalus arundinaceus

@Fire - We are right on the coast, very close to UK really and the birds seem to be the same.

Thanks for the link, I had found that site but I can't seem to match it up to what I have on the recording. The youtube idea is good, might try that.

Bijdezee - I googled RSPB+bird song+reed warbler and got this link to an audio file - https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/bird-a-z/reed-warbler

No problems with being in France so try it yourself and then go back to listen to other warblers if it's not the one you have.

Took a bit of sorting out but there you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTDeiWI2m7I

Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

Maybe it's not a warbler. It has the unending variation of the nightingale, but it's too squeaky for that. @wild edges, any ideas?
