Welcome to Birdsong Academy

Discover birds by sound

Welcome! This list is run by me, Charlie, founder of Birdsong Academy and Up With The Birds. You may know me better as @cuckootrailer.

My mission is to help thousands more people in the UK to find and confidently identify birds by ear. I offer a range of courses, guided events and online resources, for adults and children. All of them are designed to unlock the joys of understanding what’s around us, wherever we find ourselves.

Subscribe here for ideas, offers and recommended links from Birdsong Academy (no more than once a month, mostly during spring).
