This is essentially the same sound as https://freesound.org/people/naturenotesuk/sounds/741679/ with no noise reduction (apart from cutting out the sections of particularly intrusive aircraft and road noise). It could be argued this sound has more 'colour'. The description is the same:

Recorded in Chestnut Wood, part of the Essex Wildlife Trust nature reserve at Hanningfield Reservoir in Essex, UK. This was a small wooded area adjacent to the reservoir. The time period represented here is 03:50 to 06:00 but is shorter as explained below. Birds that can be heard include:

Coot
Robin
Blackbird
Mallard
Song Thrush
Woodpigeon
Blackcap
Cuckoo
Greylag Goose
Wren
Carrion Crow
Stock Dove
Chiffchaff
Magpie
Canada Goose
Great Spotted Woodpecker

A drop rig made up of a Zoom H1 Essential and Lom Usi microphones left overnight in the reserve (with permission). The microphones were placed either side of a tree trunk ("tree ears"). The recording has been cut down, mainly to remove the worst of the aircraft and road noise. The worst of the noise is in the latter part of the recording. This will most likely be due to commuter traffic increasing as the morning progressed.

If this sound has been of help, and you are able, please consider donating to Freesound, https://freesound.org/donations/donate/

Thank you
