Although in the lark's song there are occasional musical notes, the song as a whole is not very musical; but it is so joyous, buoyant and unbroken, and uttered under such conditions as fully to entitle the bird to the place he occupies with both poet and prose writer.
The most musical singer we heard was the blackcap warbler.

To my ear its song seemed more musical than that of the nightingale.

It was astonishingly powerful for so small a bird; in volume and continuity it does not come up to the songs of the thrushes and of certain other birds, but in quality, as an isolated bit of melody, it can hardly be surpassed.
Among the minor singers the robin was noticeable.

We all know this pretty little bird from the books, and I was prepared to find him as friendly and attractive as he proved to be, but I had not realized how well he sang.

It is not a loud song, but very musical and attractive, and the bird is said to sing practically all through the year.
