How Do You Find Birdsong Radio?

Some people find it relaxing and some people find it annoying. I first heard it when i got my first DAB Digital Radio in 2003 when it was D1 Temp. I heard it has about 12 species of bird on but there are several sounds people find annoying like Crows Crowing, Gunshot like sounds and this crackling sound in the morning wood or something. The station has been on DAB 3 times now and I'm sure it was on FM once but I can't remember that.

    It was the test transmissions for Classic FM in 1992.

    I find it nice to listen to, but terribly repeditive.

    A bit like Heart really.

    Typical Global birdsong- only 12 species repeated ad-infinitum. Not like it used to be when there was a great variety of species represented and loads of local species too.

    Yes, I'm sure I've seen the tagline "More birdsong variety" used too, totally inaccurate, I'm outraged! :D

    Still at least there is some continuity, with LBC replacing it there is now the sound of a tit twittering on first thing in the morning, so it's kinda similar to birdsong radio! :p
