Listening to birdsong provides a huge amount of pleasure to people all around the world, but which species are the most melodious and produce the best songs?
Hannu J nnes has created this beautifully illustrated and very useful book and App combination, bringing together 70 species with the most remarkable voices from around the world. These include the melodious high-quality tunes of the Common Nightingale and Wood Thrush, the splendid mimicry of the Northern Mockingbird and Superb Lyrebird, the far-carrying 'boom' of the Eurasian Bittern, and the quirky 'popping' of the Black-bellied Bustard.
