For the past few weeks I have been both enchanted and tantalised by the 
most charming intermittent birdsong around my home. From the volume it 
sounds like a very small bird and its thin, delicate, somewhat wistfully 
haunting  little melody meanders up and down for quite long periods, but 
with (to me) no recognisable repetitions. And despite being very clear 
where the singing is coming from, I have never been able to pinpoint the 
bird.

Do any of you have suggestions as to what it could be? I have Petersons 
Eastern Birding by Ear, but have no idea about where to start listening. 
I live close to the sea in a mixed conifer/deciduous setting with both 
wild and open, cultivated spaces.

Any suggertions will be most welcome!

Eleanor Lindsay, St Margarets Bay
