An alternative and exciting way of looking at birds is by way of recordings of their songs and calls. There are two main sites that focus on bird recordings, and where you can begin your searches.
xeno-canto.org… sharing bird sounds from around the world
soundapproach.co.uk The Sound Approach – understanding bird sound

both theses sites allow further exploration of bird information, in addition to their recordings, from an individual species perspective rather than a Country Checklist view.
