Size, side by side
Beak to tail-tip. The jump from wren to heron is the part nobody expects.
The dawn chorus, in order
Roughly when each bird joins in, relative to sunrise. Big-eyed birds start earliest because they can see to feed sooner.
Timings are approximate and shift with the season. Tawny owls are missing because they do their calling in the middle of the night, and herons and kingfishers do not really sing at all.
