November hush doesn’t mean silence. Across London’s gardens and parks, delicate calls stitch the still air: robins, song thrushes, wrens, hedge sparrows, tits, and pinking blackbirds keep up a steady chorus all month. Early November may gift you greenfinches, chaffinches, and pied wagtails; nuthatches take a late-month bow. Tune your ear to coos: wood pigeons (three-note phrases, second higher) versus stock doves (two notes, second falling). In woods, listen for the green woodpecker’s staccato and, rarer now, a lesser spotted drum; seek the whispery, sliding notes of the treecreeper. Over open grass, catch pheasants, skylarks, and fleeting linnets; along Thames marshes, resident blackcaps and Cetti’s warblers linger, with reed or corn buntings at Rainham. A quieter season—rich in small revelations.
