Most birds are fairly quiet during winter, but these two, the robin and the wren continue to defend their territories with their defiant songs.
The robin has a tuneful, delicate and rather plaintive song, whereas the wren's vigorous four-verse recital includes a cheery churring bit towards the end.
Listen to this recording by Jed Deadlock . There are several others on youtube but I included this one because ends with the 'tik tik tik' alarm call, warning other birds that there is a cat or some other threat about.
And for a wren song here is a video by Paul Dinning .
Many thanks, Jed and Paul.
