My book Flying High! celebrates the birds of Britain, and the songs they sing. But what are these songs? What do they sound like? Here is a list of the birds that appear in Flying High! (and the pages you’ll find them on), along with a link to each one’s song or call. Enjoy listening to the recordings here and, more importantly, to The Real Thing outdoors – wherever you may be!
