Most Beautiful Sounding Birdsong in the World :) (1 Viewer)

For me, nothing beats listening to a Thrush Nightingale in full song at night. We're fortunate to have them breeding outside our kitchen window in Russia and in the summer, we drift off to sleep to this lovely sound.

I like very much Thrush Nightingale also. I know many birders don't like it cos it's too noisy. Especially when they try to listening some quieter birds, like Grasshopper Warblers etc...
Maybe I like it so much cos it was the first Warbler sp. which I learned to recognize by sound.
Also, I like very much Black Bird, Song Thrush, Bluethroat, Icterine, Sedge, Marsh, Blyth's Reed Warblers songs etc. Hard to put them in order.
 
In the field, Black-faced Solitaire made the biggest impression on me. Probably because it sings very loudly, and in the evening, when it is relatively quiet:

Eurasian Wren is the most optimistic:

I was very diasppointed with American thrushes. For me they sound like bending sheets of tin.

I would put the Cuban Solitaire song before the Black-faced song, but maybe just cos I have heard CS and not the BfS. There is something very magical on those Solitaires voices. :t:

Slightly tangential but I have two, outstanding moments which included birds call. 1, A fully moonlit desert in Morocco with Stone Curlews calling all around and 2, sitting by a lake in the Russian Arctic at midnight, with a Black-throated Diver calling on the lake, magical moments for me.

Nice. :t:

Reminds me very much of our Australian Reed Warbler https://www.xeno-canto.org/340992
but with added 'scissor grinder' churring like from our Restless Fly catcher too.





Chosun :gh:
