I don't know what I was expecting the bird to sound like in the field but to me personaly it was fiarly distinctive and clearly not collybita or trochilus.Andrew Kinghornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098341343031091500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877329083449604066.post-22612020152441681982010-07-15T11:27:58.899-07:002010-07-15T11:27:58.899-07:00nice link again andrew.

I think the wentwood forest bird was a tiny bit different to this one but it still sounds very similar.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925490044758161899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877329083449604066.post-31260189230453899252010-07-15T00:36:42.160-07:002010-07-15T00:36:42.160-07:00If only it were that straightforward Andrew !

Its call was slightly different to the recording you have. I described it as a Chiffchaff that wasn't quite sure whether or not it was a Chiffchaff. Like yours it started similarly , with the opening few notes of the usual call but deviated off into something else. It would however do the normal chiff chaff song once every four times. Visually, very difficult to tell any significant difference.<br />JohnJohnnykinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076909025101532481noreply@blogger.com
