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 Jännes 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.
Listening to their performances will provide the perfect inspiration to
get out of bed early and take in the next dawn chorus.
