Subject: RE: BS: Birdwatching 2011
I would like to see more birds in my garden but seeing as I don't see it much in daylight at this time of year it's a bit of a vain hope.

Anyone have any ideas about audio sources that can help me identify bird night-calls (UK). There must be at least two sorts of owls calling because I've seen barn and tawney owls in the neighbourhood and I think that there may me others.

I'm also getting some other calls that sound more like game birds or plovers at various times of the year.

I don't get many of the usual small garden birds as we are in sheep grasing country, away from other houses with gardens and there are very few hedges or trees around for cover.
