just witnessed the most amazing sounds , in my garden two,
what i believe to be skylarks landed in my tree and sang for
about 10 mins only a dog was woofing in the distance, no
other sound , no time to set up mics i just enjoyed it.

thousand variations of song ...amazing tones tambre
....one of the phrases was like an aphex twin arpy type
thing. R2D2, a chainsaw, car alarm..the sound of arocket
ship navigation console. and a 1970's teas maid alarm .but
each one so beautifully crafted and smoooooth. at times
they both sang the same song , stereo became mono , with
the reverb around the houses out the back too..

really cool wish i had a reecording .

Wow, that's pretty amazing man!

As said, at least you have this thread to evoke the sounds
you heard today. :)

And anyway, with these kinds of naturally occuring sounds, I
think it's better just to have the memory. If you recorded
it you would probably realise that it wasn't that great and
wouldn't be able to explain to anyone else why it was so
great. The spontataiety was the best thing about this
'song'. That is something than should not and cannot be
recorded. ^^

Unlikey to be skylarks if they landed in a tree. They only
sing when on the wing. The longest continuous bird song
ever recorded was a skylark, something over an hour long I
think. Ah, the song of the skylark ...

If the song was proper melodious (in an up and down, random
later era Autechre type of way) it may have been a Song
Thrush, too early for a nightingale (that would have been
more early era, Incunabula/Amber, Autechre).

Did you get a look at these little feathered beauties?
Check out this:

see if you can track down the species through sound alone.
