Useful websites for birdsounds

[Steve Babbs]

Hi
I think it would be useful to start a thread on useful websites for birdsongs now we have this sub-forum. So here's a start:

This site has been mentioned in several other threads and is a truely amazing resource for anybody birding in the neotropics, I wished I'd known about it earlier although I know a lot of the recordings have been added relatively recently.

http://www.xeno-canto.org./browse.php

Dutch birding has recordings of a lot of Western Paleatic stuff, particularly tricky sp:


http://www.dutchbirding.nl

British Birds have recordings linked to papers on rb and taiga flycatchers, swinhoes and pintail snipe and dark-throated thrush.

If anyone knows of anymore please add them.

I'm now off to help run my son's birthday party, shouldn't say it but I wish I could be birding.

Steve, Xeno Canto is great! Here's a few sites I've found:

Naturesongs has a good number of recordings from Costa Rica and N. America. It also has some info on recording equipment and techniques, plus some other interesting links.

There's a small assortment of Bolivian recordings at this site:

Another site with about 50 recordings from Brazil:

I have found a cheap alternative on birdsounds.fol.nl (without the www) for birds from europe.
The are a lot of soundfiles on this CD-rom. Some quite crappy, but the most are very good to use !
