In this video I have tried to capture the wonders of springtime when nature can give us all hope of better times to come. It contains one hour of beautiful British springtime bird song set against idyllic backdrops with no distracting commentary yet contains a lot of helpful information and spectrograms to assist in song identification.
Presented in a way that people who just want to listen to the birds singing and those who want a little more information can both enjoy. At the end of the video there is brief identification test.
