All of them you have mentioned also the goldfinch. Bird song i always just took it for granted when I was younger and now being older it's a priceless pleasure I enjoy and free at that. 

At the back of work is some cottages and a communal garden, in summer I have the back door open as it's warm. A little Goldie sings every morning and I always switch radio on alexa off to listen. Staff think am odd, but just love it.

I had a really interesting evening caught all these birds in the app also a common nighthawk never had one of them before and a rare according to the app common firecrest, also see a green woodpecker

People on the meateater podcast have been raving about it . You hold your phone out with the app open and recording and it will tell you every bird noise around you and identify each bird . If theirs

We are currently working on a very old property ,flag stone courtyard and ashlar walls .The owner said he had a few house martins arrive and so I suggested putting down a bag of top soil suitably damp

Black bird is my favourite too, this time of year they wake me up every morning and there’s no better way, I’m listening to a great tit now along with a few others, there’s no other noise other than bird song where I am now and it’s lovely

Robin is definitely my favourite call (maybe because of nostalgia; reading The Secret garden when I was little etc).

Second favourite, once again for reasons of nostalgia, is the blackbird.

Another I like, both the bird itself and the call, is the dunnock; I think they're one of the most overlooked and undervalued birds in the UK.

My favourite species is the wren but, although I like their call, it reminds me of those contestants on the Voice when they've only got a few seconds left and none of the judges chairs have turned so they throw everything at it and go a bit over the top. "Listen to what I can do, pick me! Pick me!"

Surprised I am not picking more finch song up on the app tbh and the only recent one was a greenfinch in some bushes near work.

The blackcap has some voice, like a mini blackbird.

TBH mate if it weren't for the app i wouldn't have ever known it was a blackcap unless i saw it whereas I some birds i hear straight away i know what they are without the app.
