Interesting.


According to the RSPB most nocturnal warblers (like nightingales) are migratory birds, so they wouldn't be around at this time of year.


Reed and sedge warblers do stick around, but they're unlikely to be found in cities.


Apparently the most likely candidate is a robin. It's the streelights that mess them up.


 

At certain times of year, if you are walking near Sainsbury's on Dog Kennel Hill late at night/early in the morning, the sound of birdsong in the dark at about 2am or later is really really loud. There must be loads of birds in the little parks nearby.


I do think it's something to do with streetlights, but also it's coming up to bird mating time now, isn't it??

All through the night is most likely to be a Robin. It's a very sweet sounding song - I used to get quite excited when I heard one thinking it must be a nightingale. Check out the sound recording labelled Robin 1 on this page: http://www.garden-birds.co.uk/information/tutorials/tutorial03.htm

Same here - I hadn't realised before that Robins had such a lovely song.


Off topic, but when I first heard a skylark I knew immediately what it was - that's probably the most distinctive bird song I've ever heard :) Only heard it twice though, once in Sussex on the downs, once on the Malvern Hills.

I used to live in Bredenbury (near Bromyard), so not far away - had friends in Malvern but didn't trek up the hills much, being a lazy sod.


But I was rather older than a teenager at the time and telephone boxes didn't loom large in my life :))
