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: http://www.bl.uk/listentonature/soundstax/groups.html
see if you can track down the species through sound alone.
