Will collar necked doves fly upon your or stay well away from you?

You are amazing

I have to add these words by Robert Browning in Home Thoughts from Abroad poem: "That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, Lest you should think he never could recapture The first fine careless rapture!" Dad quoted me this when I was small, so this is the first bird I was able to ID from sound alone.

While I am fishing at my local pond I hear. All the time chatter chatter chatter we do I searched for bird songs and found that it was the chaffinch I hear a chatter chatter chatter WE DO ‘

I'd just recently moved from Birmingham to Cambridge, and one morning, out on a stroll, I heard what I thought was a peculiar wood pigeon call. Spent a good while trying to learn about bird calls, a subject I'm not too familiar with, and found this video, excellent stuff! Maybe Collared Dove's weren't very common where I lived before, but I can now certainly say that there's a bunch in the park near my house, and here I thought the pigeons in Cambridge might just be musically shy! Turns out I was listening to a different bird entirely! Anyway, love the explanation of the difference in rhythm, thanks so much for the video, really helpful stuff!

Really wish you would make some more of these little videos. I think they’re brilliant!

Why would anyone want a German name attached to a bird while it's in the UK .make no sense S

The Collared Dove makes the same chanting call as Manchester United football fans, "UNITED! UNITED! UNITED!"

Great series of videos! Thank you so much x

Brilliant, the best explanation I have come across, I even had time to take some notes.

please continue these videos! ❤❤❤

Steal too cows taffy - Wpigeon U ni Ted, u ni Ted - C.Dove

Wood Pigeon = close to a Bo Diddley beat. The Dove is kind of a 6/8 Waltz

Beautifully done I love the Cross praise God

In our house, we have always known Wood Pigeons' song because it sounds like the whistling bit from Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay. This is impossible to unhear and I'm sorry.

The reason why wood pigeons they dont finish their song can happen, firstly is if they are interupted and the second one where they just stop purposely

What do the quick sharp noises that they make mean?

Very helpful, thanks Lucy. Hope that you get back to doing more videos.

Great stuff thank you! I can't help associating the wood pigeon with the song "if you knew Susie like i knew Susie"🎶 consequently i can't get the song out of my head!

I thought the wood pigeon said "my toe keeps hurting, my leg keeps hurting, my wing keeps hurting, my beak keeps hurting..."

You've created an incredible learning resource for this and generations to come. Thank you for inspiring me and please make some more videos. You make learning bird song seem both easy and fun. You've packed in so much wonderful information that each video must've taken a long time to produce but they really are gems.

Very interesting way using those words to make the phrase of the Blue Tit. it is very accurate. A way I heard which I have found very helpful is that it sounds similar to an old engine struggling to start. Might not help the younger generation;-)

I call it the squeaky wheel !

I always say that wood pigeons sound similar to collared doves except they're smokers lol! They have this raucous sound while collared doves have a purer tone if that makes sense.

Here for the starlings songs stayed for the excellent content and subscribed

Great videos! Are there going to any more?

Hey Lucy, what where the two apps you mention in this episode please

My first day as a but slowly I’m learning!!

Time for tea, Time for tea, Here we go, Here we go, You’re weird, Your weird 😊

Learning and enjoying so much from this series, you are amazing at explaining! Thank you!

Thank you! I have been trying so hard to find information on where it perches to sing. I can never spot the local song thrush whilst it's singing but sounded high up. I only ever see if foraging in the ground!

I love your nerd alerts...especially this one...us replacing the boar 🐗🤩🐦

Thanks for sharing your bird wisdom Lucy Great owl on winter watch 😊

Blackbird: “Dear, oh dear, oh dear…puwit”

Thank you! Been looking for a resource just like this to add bird language and awareness to my nature scintillations!

Brilliant… but is that it? You did promise us more.. Dunnocks and Coal Tits to name but two… would REALLY like more of these please ….

Hi Lucy love your enthusiasm and seeing you on autumn watch tonight... Nice to say hello 😘

اعتقد انه محتوى رائع لكن لا افهم اللغة الإنجليزية مع الاسف الشديد اتمنى تفعيل الترجمة للعربية بالتوفيق سيدتي

Hi no new videos for a while, anything new coming???

My Mother and I have been really enjoying learning all the birdsongs with your helpful videos. As soon as we'd watched your latest video, the Bluetit song, we looked for more but were distraught to see that was your last one. Would you consider making any more? It would be much appreciated, as now we are a little lost on what song to learn next and how to remember it 😆

I Raise one at home, I really love these birds💆🏻💛🖤

Will there be another video?

R u going to do more videos?

Really enjoy your presentations. It seems the Blue Tit has a binary method of communication.

Lucy man, you're hilarious

You’re funny

Hi Lucy, Just watched your video on the chiffchaff. I have recently been hearing a bird which doesn't sound like the traditional chiffchaff sound, but it is! It's a sort of repetitive whistle. You can hear it on a CZcams video called 'Chiffchaff Song and Contact Call'. It's been driving me nuts for the last few weeks, not knowing what it was! Thanks to the poster of that video as well as yourself.

Just subscribed & learning a lot. Great job. I’ve been birding for a few years now & struggle most with identifying different waders. Perhaps your next series could cover this group of birds.

I found a baby great tit in my parking but suddenly yesterday it died by itself as i was not home to turn it when i fell on its back

I slashed my wrists waiting fir the video through all the ads which didn't skip
