♫ Barn swallows on the hunt, some quite high. 2020-08-18 13.01.00 Luppmen (song?) |
Good to know: Die langen Schwanzfedern vom Rauchschwalbe und anderen geben auch dem Schmetterling Schwalbenschwanz seine deutschen Namen.
Appearance and identification: Rauchschwalbes Bauch ist etwas braun rot, nicht weiss wie der von der Mehlschwalbe - was wahrscheinlich Quelle der zwei Namen ist. [Link]
Song: Characteristic calls and song. Song a sparkling, squeaky energetic improvisation with interspersed contact calls, often with diagnostic ending; an electric and drawn-out "su-eerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". [Link]
Calls: Contact call a short and sharp "weet" or "kee-weet". [Link]

♫ Call from Xeno-Canto Source: XENOCANTO
XC511677 Common kingfisher call similar to one from NABU app.mp3
(call)
|
Calls:  Wikipedia says 'The common kingfisher has no song.
The flight call is a short, sharp whistle chee repeated two or three times. Anxious birds emit a harsh, shrit-it-it and nestlings call for food with a churring noise.'
The NABU app only has calls,
which seems to confirm this. Therefore I'm classifying all recordings as calls,
even though some say Song at Xeno-Canto. [Link]
Calls: Most heard is the thin and penetrating contact call: A short "tzee", or disyllabic "tzee-tzu", with a ringing metallic quality. In excitement it is often alternated with ringing trills "tzeerrrrrrrrrr". [Link]
