Customer Reviews

Not what I expected2
Probably my own fault but it doesn't do what I expected.
I expected a recording of bird song with a 'voice over' (or voice under?) of identification.
Instead it is a succesion of different bird song with the necessity to refer to the CD cover to identify the bird, for which you need to keep tabs of exactly where you are in the CD running order.

Songs of Garden Birds2
Disappointing. You need to follow the text in order to figure out which bird is singing. I would have preferred the birds to be identified on the track.

DWISOTT (Does What It Says on the Tin!)5
What can I say, except what the title of the review says? I would have liked the names of the birds to have been announced as part of the audio, but there we are.
