The chorus began with a variety of wheezy notes from the Greenfinch, intermingled with a repetitive 'too-eee' and a loud twittering trill. The base tone of the Wood pigeon 'Orr-oo-oo' came on in the background, while the Collared Dove took up with a harsh, excited 'coo-oo-cuk'. The Blackbird provided a beautiful mellow song, a slow clear warble that tailed off at the end, while the Grey Wagtail provided an accompanying quiet melodious trilling. The rains started to come and it went quiet.

Lovely I could hear them all. They don't like the rain any more than we do
How inspirational bird song is. Uplifting. thank you Kath. I had to take my 'Merlin' bird app outside one very dark morning recently - a bird was singing its heart out, I couldn't see it and suspected a robin - as usual. But to my surprise it was a Song Thrush hidden away in a tree. Now I'm looking forward to the blackbirds' morning chorus as spring rolls out. Must try to write something but there's a high standard been set for 'Blackbird' writing!
Nothing like hearing early morning birdsong, nothing like being out at the start of a new day 😍
Great to hear about the Sing Thrush Liz! They aren't over common now.
You have quite a variety of birds in your garden (I thought it must be) and it is so exciting to listen and identify. More small birds have been responding to our extra feeding but now the pigeons have taken over!
