Five sounds in Stanmer Park in May & June
Firecrest
Firecrests are unmistakable if you get a good look, but it’s much easier to see them when you know the song and the calls. High pitched!
Song Thrush
The Song Thrush has a very varied song, but the ‘repeat and switch’ pattern, delivered from a high perch, usually gives it away.
Corn Bunting
The jangling keys theme tune of the Corn Bunting - not the most melodic of songs, but a neat way to find a scarce bird of our farmland.
