"Brett Westwood's new series will appeal to novices and more experienced birdwatchers alike." The Sunday Telegraph

Join presenter Brett Westwood and Stephen Moss in this fascinating guide to the songs of our most popular woodland birds, as heard on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio 4. This second series of birdsong follows the popular Guide to British Garden Birds released last year, described as "an unalloyed delight" in the Sunday Times. Released on 2nd July 2009.

Woods and forests are full of birds, and although you might not immediately see them you will certainly hear them. This practical and informative audio guide, recorded in springtime in the Forest of Dean, will help you to recognise the birds you see - and those you only hear - when you're walking in one of Britain's beautiful woodlands. Not only is there advice on how to recognise the birds visually, but also on how to identify them from their calls and songs.

Each of the programmes focuses on a different group of birds, starting with the Nuthatch and the brightly coloured woodpeckers, small birds and wonderful songbirds like the Blackcap, the Garden Warbler and the elusive Nightingale. Then there are the specialists, who need coniferous planting to thrive – the Siskin, Goldcrest, Coal Tit and the more exotic Crossbill. Finally, the big ones, Sparrowhawks, Jays, Jackdaws and owls.

Whether you're a novice or an experienced birdwatcher, this series will help you to tell the Chiffchaff from the Willow Warbler, the Redstart from the Pied Flycatcher and to enjoy the astonishing variety of bird life in British woodlands.
