Ring Ouzel in song - Beeley Moor

There is no more welcome sound to me than the plaintive song of the male Ring Ouzel on an early spring morning. Although it is a regular breeding bird to the north on the edges of Curber, Froggatt and Stanage it is most often seen around Beeley as a bird of spring and autumn passage but it does occasionally stay to breed.
This male was in full song this morning and hopefully he can attract a female.

I have played around with a sound file recorded on my phone and if all has gone well you should be able to hear it by clicking the arrowhead below. From a distance the plaintive three note whistle is all that can be heard but in between there are a range of other weaker notes.
Having worked out how to do it I've also added a sound file to the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker post below.
