Hi there
Could anyone identify this bird call - it kicks in at around 30 seconds (sorry I didn’t want to try cutting the audio in case I cut the wrong part by mistake!).
It’s a really distinctive call and appears every morning outside my bedroom window at 6:30am prompt. I haven’t managed to get a look of the bird!
Thank you

First a blackbird, then a Great Tit, and what joins in at 30 secs, is a Song Thrush.

hi LizzieI, my work PC doesn't have speakers, so can't comment

bit of a tangent but as you are in Manchester I thought I would let you know that there's an active forum covering the Greater Manchester area here: - http://manchesterbirding.activeboard.com/

Oh thank you! I’d listened to the song thrush calls but it didn’t sound the same. I guess here are many different types of calls however for each bird (I’m a newbie).

Hi, welcome to the forum. It's a nuthatch. I can confirm the Manchester forum is excellent.

Agree that the bird that comes in after 30 seconds is a Nuthatch.

Whoops! Apologies. I've never heard a Nuthatch, we don't have 'em over here. Wish I could see one though. Every time I go to visit friends in England I stare into their gardens, hoping......

It could be a nuthatch as I’m sure the mother in law said she’d seen one in the garden!

Send one to me! We had no Great Spotted Woodpeckers either until about a decade ago. Then they came over off their own bat, and now they've expanded their range all along our East Coast and over as far as Limerick. Probably upwards of a hundred pairs. But I digress from your thread-topic....enjoy the Nuthatch if you see it. Very pretty bird!
