Unsure on a few recordings (1 Viewer)

Hi, I have a few recorded snippets, BirdNet in Raven is giving them all as Blackbird but I just wanted to make sure this was correct.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Sounds like a Song Thrush to me but the clips are too short, I'm assuming it's a recording of a singing bird that's been chopped up? If you can post the full length that'd help secure a firm ID. 🙂👍🐦

Thats really helpful thanks, I have attached the full 1 min file. There is a Song Thrush singing throughout so you could be correct. Do Song Thrush make that type of noise as an alarm call?
Thanks

Hi, yes a singing Song Thrush, the bit that sounds like an alarm call is IMHO a bit of mimicry of Blackbird. Song Thrush do have a distinctive alarm call.
Xeno-Canto is a superb online resource for bird songs and calls, you may already have come across it. 🙂👍🐦
