I don't have especial "favourites" but I do like to hear a flock of starlings chattering to each other. They are very much herd animals, and smaller flocks of them will find local gathering-spots during the day.
One such, near my home, is the top of a telephone-pole with wires radiating to a number of houses nearby, and is very much a place to see and be seen if you are a starling.
Though not usually called a "song-bird", like the very musical blackbird, the starling has a remarkable repertoire of bubbly chirps.
Crows, when foraging, sometimes talk to themselves with a range of quiet chirps and chortles not unlike those of a domestic hen in the same activity.
It does not happen often but I like to hear the frogs croaking in my back garden. This is their mating-call.
