Something for the weekend

4/7/2020

I thought it might be fun if I posted a video of birdsong every weekend - some of them I do know, most I don't - and ask you to guess what bird it is - or say of course, if you know. This one I do know - I'd heard they sound like jangling keys and although I don't really notice my keys jangling, when I heard this, I knew what I was hearing!

It's recorded in the car park on Win Green. Do have a go!

Great recording!
This bird is a male corn bunting singing it’s song, you are quite right sounds like jangling keys. It has been called the barley bird, too as it is associated with fields of barley.
Corn buntings are doing well in Wiltshire and can be heard at Tisbury near the Tithe Barn, but their strongholds are the rolling fields of the downs.
