`Countryside Birds contains recordings of 65 species, the ones you are most likely to encounter... Can be used as an identification guide – especially useful if you are just interested in identifying bird song you hear during a walk, or can be used to evoke the sounds of the countryside.` Su Gough, British Trust for Ornithology
