Title: When do Magpie Robins wake up? ÄN쩪º¬¡°Ê®É¶¡
Post by Fabi^^ on Mar 28th, 2006, 5:36pm
I am curious about a case here.

Last night at about 2:00 when I was working in my room I heard 1 or 2 magpie robins singing loudly outside the windows. Is it true that magpie robins wake up at 2:00am? I thought they are diurnal birds.....Do any nocturnal birds sing like magpie robins?

Does anyone have such experience of hearing them singing in the night?

Yes in my village the males will sing under street lights from around 4am during the height of the breeding season.

Yes, outside my house on Lamma seems like all night, but is probably from about 02:00.
In the mornings you can hear lots of them calling from their different "areas"....... now the Koel's have chipped in & is almost deafening right outside my bedroom window         :'(

Similar to Mike's experience, they seem to start singing from about 0400 in spring around my home....

What does call all night, every night, is an escaped Fischer's Lovebird...it must feel quite lonely....

Below is one more previous post about the calling of Mapie Robin in mid night/early morning.

Please see whether the calling is similar to what you heard in the early morning.

Cheers,

It sounds like that in the first link.

Maybe it isn't a magpie robin?
