In Part 12, Something Borrowed of The Sound Approach to Birding (second edition), Mark and Magnus challenge you to find all the species in a 12-minute Common Redstart recording (available on our app). How many did you find? Here's our list below...

I have picked out 39 species that I can recognise, though there must undoubtedly be more, especially from Africa given that I am much less familiar with sounds from there. Here is what I could find:

 Common Teal, European Nightjar, Green Sandpiper, Spotted Redshank, Wood Sandpiper, Common Redshank, Green Bee-eater, Blue-cheeked Bee-eater, Eurasian Scops Owl, European Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Siberian Jay, Eurasian Blue Tit, European Crested Tit, Eurasian Coal Tit, Willow Tit, Woodlark, Red-rumped Swallow, Long-tailed Tit, Bohemian Waxwing, Eurasian Nuthatch, Common Treecreeper, Eurasian Wren, Redwing, Spotted Flycatcher, European Pied Flycatcher, Dunnock, House Sparrow, Little Weaver, Grey Wagtail, Tree Pipit, Pine Grosbeak, Northern Bullfinch, European Greenfinch, Mealy Redpoll, Common Crossbill, Parrot Crossbill, European Serin, Lapland Longspur and Yellowhammer.
