James Blake said:I suppose the birds I like best either sound great - Nightingale, drumming Common Snipe - or seem somehow symbolic of a particular time or place - Dippers in Dartmoor rivers, Marsh Harriers on hot summer afternoons in the East Anglian waterlands.
Hard to pick just one...Nightingale and Snipe score extra points for subtly beautiful plumage, Snipe for eccentrically long bill and Dipper for eccentricity of lifestyle. Nightingale comes with all the literary associations, while Marsh Harrier is just majestic in flight.
