British Bird Sounds on CD

The definitive audio guide to birds in Britain

Compiled and edited by Ron Kettle and Richard Ranft

mapThe total of 175 species on these compact discs includes all the British birds whose sounds are likely to be encountered by the average bird-watcher. Some scarce species like Dotterel and Garganey do not feature, nor do wintering waders like Bar-tailed Godwit and Knot, which are comparatively silent in Britain. The aim has been to include the most commonly heard sounds - songs and/or calls - of each species.Some filtering has been applied to many of the recordings to reduce intrusive background noise or other sounds, but without affecting the subject bird sounds. Otherwise only the occasional editing out of a blemish alters the original recording. In the few instances where separate parts of the same recording have been used there is a fade-out between them.

For each recording, background species (when obvious), locality, year, month, and recordist are all meticulously given in the booklet. With voice announcements.
