Bird song in your garden

Ive just downloaded an ap called Birdsnet It analyses bird song and tells you want it can hear

I have a small garden and surrounded by very mature trees, so there is constant chatter of bird
Its picked up the robin,woodpecker ,crows wood pigeons, collared doves, blue tits, great tits ,magpies , etc that i can see
But it constantly picks up a chiffchaff which i have never seen in the garden, suspect they are high in the tree and wrens which i havent seen in a while..
Just found a longtailed tit who come and go from the garden.
Its a bit strange though it doesnt recognise the cockerals that 2 of my neighbours have.

Brilliant, thanks for this. I’ve been struggling to figure out what a particular bird I can hear is.

That's awesome, I hope when the weather clears a little the birds will be more vocal.

Just found a goldcrest. Again havent ever seen one but we have a lot of coniferous trees which is their habitat

Thank you for the app suggestion. Just added it to my phone so I shall see what it picks up on my dog walk in a bit and also in the garden. I'm pretty sure my garden will just be sparrows, jackdaws, pigeons, doves, starlings and swifts. I did see a wren when we first moved here, and we have had goldfinches too.
