Last marsh warbler is MW5 as it was totally different area, but sadly only 10 minutes
Audio
I am going through the long 3h marsh warbler recording and to my surprise I hear a BRW I had no idea was there! That time only MW2 had recorder in that location and I was in totally opposite side getting Risvei and Thampy. This BRW is a surprise to me too. Seems like the bird is not very in the mood to sing. I feel like MW2 keeps activating him lol
After finishing the last Thrush Nightingale song, the TOTAL amount I recorded is ✨106 HOURS✨ of birdsong from 4 different species!!
Unique individuals: 43 (27 Blyths Reed Warblers, 10 Thrush Nightingales, 1 River warbler, 5 marsh warblers.
3 revisits from previous years (Risvei 2024, Vuubiluuli 2025 and Tuardy 2025) were discovered! Most surprising is Risvei!! First heard 2024 singing, 2026 revisited me!
Longest recorded TNG - Switcher for 4h!
Longest recorded BRW - Riivou, 2h 58minutes
Longest recorded River Warbler - 1h 20min
Longest recorded Marsh Warbler - Oidata, 2h 22 minutes
Typical time a Blyth's Reed Warbler were singing: 00:00 - 00:12 time, few were heard earlier than 23:50. I usually heard them before the time as I needed to reach them before I hit record.
Typical time Thrush Nightingale were singing - based on Switcher, his start of singing times were 23:21, 23:35 and 23:50 when documenting him.
Most visited Blyth's Reed Warbler - Uubidi, 5x, was a nice place so used many changes!
Most visited Thrush Nightingale - Switcher, 4 times. Asked permission to record there and I could document him a lot!
Most visited Marsh Warbler- both Oidata and Vuuju - 2x
✨New species recorded ✨- RIVER WARBLER. Never have got them here that often to be able to record this close! This one and only bird gave me the change!
Longest amount of single Thrush Nightingale song recorded - Switcher, 9 hours and 36 minutes!
Longest amount of single Blyth's Reed Warbler song recorded - Uubidi, 7 hours ja 2 minutes!
Longest amount of single Marsh Warbler song recorded- Oidata, 3 hours and 50 minutes
I am so so happy for all these talented singers who gave me a lot of beautiful birdsong during Nightsingers 2026 Season, much more that I ever could of dreamed!
🐦⬛️Season lasted 1 May - 1 July. 🐦⬛️
I was out 🌙 47 nights🌙 to record the birds out of 61 days. Every other night I was not out was due of weather being rainy, Midsummer time noise and once being away.
Average time I was out was 22:30 - 3:00+ am searching the talented singers. In June the time shifted to 23:40 - 2:30am, birds started to sing much later, going out 22:30 there was nothing to hear.
Looking forward to 2027 season and what talented surprises wait me there!

116 different Blyth's Reed Warblers! All birds had different song patterns and rhythms! Here I did not count any revisits!
23 different Marsh Warblers!! On internet it's told that there are more Marsh Warblers than Blyth's Reed Warblers - I have totally opposite situation lol
68 different Thrush Nightingales! Each year it was different how many I could find, between 7-10 a year!
5 different Common Grasshopper Warblers. Not many recorded, because I started to pay attention to them in 2023.
