Stephen takes a trip to RSPB Scotland's Loch Leven nature reserve. Site manager Vicky Turnbull and Assistant Warden Darran Dixon are on hand to help him identify what is singing in the woodland.
There's a little bird with a loud voice, a melodic warbler and a thrush with a complex song.
Stephen also hears about some odd nesting decisions by Blue Tits at the reserve and discovers which bird sounds like a squeaky bike pump.
