 Persönlich gemerkt: Ich hatte eine interessantes Erlebnis mit Wacholderdrosseln - es ist unter Rotdrossel beschrieben. Gesang: Gesang nicht melodisch,aus gepressten, quietschenden Tönen bestehend, fast nur im Flug vorgetragen. [Link] Gesang: Song a mix of dry contact calls; "trrrt trrrrt", and high pitched, drawn out, chattering improvisations. [Link] Rufe: Schackernd, ähnlich obiger Art [Misteldrossel], aber weicher. Am Brutplatz raue krächzende Rufe. [Link] Rufe: Scolding call a hard "check", often given in decelerating series. Contact call in migration a soft, pleasant but, buzzy "weet". Typically bursts into continuos, squeaky chattering at takeoff. [Link]
Uferschwalbe / Bank swallow (Riparia riparia)
Bank swallow. 2024-01-26 15.58.58 Thailand Profil 		Gesang Fast raspy one-noter. ♫ Quelle: XENOCANTO XC344092 - Sand Martin - Riparia riparia - raspy song but note, does not sing often.mp3 (Gesang)

 Gesang: Song a primitive improvisation on the contact call. [Link] Rufe: Contact call a mono- or disyllabic "trrrrt". Similar to House Martin but more raucous and less crisp, with less rolling r's, and with stable pitch throughout. Alarm call similar to House Martin; a sharp plaintive "tseep", but somewhat purer and more drawn. [Link]

Misteldrossel / Mistle thrush (Turdus viscivorus)
Misteldrossel. 2020-05-07 12.56.02 Hungerseeli Profil 		Gesang Song: Gesang ähnlich Amsel, aber eintöniger mit geringerem Tonumfang [auch kürzer, kein schnirpsliges Ende -- Bill] [Link] ♫ XC800869 - Mistle Thrush - Turdus viscivorus. Quelle: XENOCANTO XC800869 - Mistle Thrush - Turdus viscivorus.mp3 (Gesang?)

Rufe General: I mistook this one for a woodpecker the first time I heard it, partly because BirdNet also did! Rattle generated in vocal tract, not with the beak! 		Gesang: Gesang ähnlich dem der Amsel, aber weniger abwechslungsreich und melancholisch, fast weinerlich klingend. Meist von Tannenspitze aus. [Link] Gesang: Song loud, far reaching and melodic. Most similar to Blackbird, but pitch is higher, phrases shorter (3-6 notes) and most notably, pauses between phrases are much shorter. All which gives the song a much more hurried feel than that of the Blackbird. Timbre is thinner and slightly shivering, and tonal range more limited. May have recurring favourite motifs, but does not repeat phrases like Song Thrush. Sometimes adds higher pitched parts and imitations. [Link] Rufe: Rufe:schnarrend „kerr“, daneben „tück-tück-tück“ [Link] Rufe: Other calls; a dry rattle, likened to the sound of a piece of wood drawn over a coarse comb, and a Fieldfare-like "chuck". [Link] Ähnlich wie: Amsel
Nicht musikalisch: Krächzen
Eichelhäher / Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius)
Eichelhaeher for profile. 2020-04-17 08.48.34 Wald Fehraltorf Profil 		Gesang Harsh crow-like call, or quiet questioning, 'grumbling', or plaintive cries. ♫ XC519564 Eurasian Jay strange song maybe like grumbling I heard, what BirdID calls a buzzard-like, mewing peeeaaa. Quelle: XENOCANTO XC519564 Eurasian Jay strange song maybe like grumbling I heard, what BirdID calls a buzzard-like, mewing peeeaaa .mp3 (Gesang)

Rufe Typically harsh jay call. I would say a contact call usually means 'Here I am', answered by 'Good, here I am.' Listening to two jays in the Swiss mountains of Toggenburg, it sounded like 'HEY IDIOT, HERE I AM...WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?' 'WHAT? YOU HAVEN'T FIGURE IT OUT? OF COURSE I'M OVER HERE. PEABRAIN.' On the other hand, anthropomorphism is always dangerous, usually completely wrong approach. ♫ XC536051 Eurasian Jay harsh call 20s. Quelle: XENOCANTO XC536051 Eurasian Jay harsh call 20s.mp3 (Ruf)
 Gesang: Quiet and varied subsong with mimicry, resembling a small passerine heard from both sexes. [Link] Rufe: Most heard call a short, drawn and very hoarse, raspy sound, often given in quick successions. Also a Buzzard-like, mewing "peeeaaa" (more drawn and less full tone than Siberian Jay).

 Gesang: Song a primitive, monosyllabic, or slightly disyllabic "chilp", hard to distinguish from Tree Sparrow. [Link] Rufe: Most calls very similar to Tree Sparrow, but lacks said species' distinct high pitched call (chew-itt), and alarm call is less dry and raucous. [Link]
Kohlmeise / Great tit (Parus major)
Kohlmeise auf ast. 2020-04-13 10.29.27 Luppmen Profil 		Gesang Said to have a repertoire as a species of 50 or more different songs, albeit simple ones, up to 10 per individual. Females prefer a male with a large repertoire.

 Gesang: Nabu: Die erste Vogelart, die wir im Jahr hören, ist meistens die Kohlmeise mit ihrem typischen Läuten: "Zip Zäh" oder "Zip zip Zäh". [NABU Experte Lars Lachmann bei Deutschlandfunk Nova] Gesang: Song highly variable, but usually consisting of two to three notes repeated in a motif. Same birds have many different motifs but generally repeat them many times before switching. Identified by its timbre and often metallic resonant quality, more than by actual phrasing (which is very variable). Often includes buzzing sounds in song. [Link] Rufe: Generally more full-bodied and resonant calls than blue tit, and not so high-pitched. Characteristic Chaffinch-like "tink tink tink" often uttered by male. [Link]
Zilpzalp / Common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita)

 Gesang: Von Mitte August bis Ende September bringt der Zilpzalp regelmäßig Herbstgesang dar. [Link] Gesang: Lange Reihen (6-20) von „zilp-zalp“-Rufen, meist abwechselnd in Tonhöhe. (Als bemühe sich der Sänger vergeblich den ersten Ton wieder zu treffen , ohne jedoch weit zu verfehlen.) „Zins zahl, Zins zahl, zahl Zins, Zins Zins zahl“ („Zins“ etwas höher als „zahl“) [Link] Gesang: Song a very distinct: "chiff-chaff-chiff-chiff-chaff-chiff", in a regular clock-like rhythm. Each syllable at seemingly random pitch, but no large intervals tonally. Sometimes "get stuck" at one note. [Link] Rufe: Rufe :einsilbiges „hüid“, hinaufgezogen, wandelbar. [Link] Rufe: Contact/alarm call a soft, plaintive ascending "hooeet". Similar to W.Warbler, but shorter with a monosyllabic feel. [Link]

In der Schweiz hoere ich (und andere) meistens den XlB-Dialekt, was Pavel Pipek vom yellowhammers.net Projekt erklaert heisst eine Silbe mit hoher Note und lang gezogen (Xl) und am schluss eine tiefe Frequenz (B). Vogelwarte.ch schreibt: Bereits im zeitigen Frühjahr trägt das Männchen seinen einfachen Gesang vor: «Wie, wie, wie, wie hab ich dich lieb». Bolzari und Gygax in Vogelarten der Schweiz sind weniger poetisch aber hilfreicher mit der Beschreibung: vzizizizizizizi-düüüh. ♫ XC29721 - Yellowhammer - Emberiza citrinella - song with XlB dialect, recorded in Cudrefin, Switzerland.

 Persönlich gemerkt: Habe ihn im Fehraltorfer-Wald endlich gesehen als er von einem Baum in die Spitze eines anderen geflogen ist. Gesang: Kurzes Liedchen. „ Wie wie wie hab ich dich liiieb“ Das „Lieb“ ist meist etwas tiefer, kann aber auch höher sein oder doppelt, dabei das eine höher und das andere tiefer. Sehr variabel! [Link] Gesang: Song a series of 6-8 (or more) slightly ascending "tze" 's, rising in volume and ending on a sustained note, which may be lower or higher than the others. Often rendered as "little-bit-of-cheese-and-no-bread". Last note is often omitted, which may lead to confusion with Cirl Bunting. Timbre with prominent harmonics as in other bunting songs.

 Persönlich gemerkt: Als Anfänger, hätte ich gedacht, dies wäre eine Goldammer, da beide gelb mit braunen Details sind; BirdID meint sie sind kompakter. Das Männchen ist eher gelb und hat was für mich wie drei brauen Streifen im Gesicht aussehen. Die Goldammer hat kaum braun am Kopf. Das Weibchen ist weniger gelb und mehr braun. Siehe BirdID für gute Bilder und Beschreibung der Erkennungsmerkmale. Gesang: BirdID says song like yellowhammer with no ending. I see what they mean - it's more like 16 or so trilled repetitions of the same note, and no leap up to 'lieb' as in the German Goldammer mnemonic. Gesang: Wie Goldammer, aber ohne das „lieb“.und etwas tiefer. Ähnlich Klappergrasmücke. [Link] Gesang: Song variable, but can generally be described as a Yellowhammer phrase with no ending, or an Arctic Warbler with bunting timbre. Tempo also variable, but rhythm always even.

(fast wie ein Wecker bei dem man den Finger etwas auf die Glocke hält) [Link] Gesang: Song insect-like and high-pitched. A monotonous stream of even clicks similar to a running fishing line.

 Persönlich gemerkt: In How to be a Bad Birdwatcher, Simon Barnes nicely explains hierarchies in feeding groups and how niches prevent blue tits from being starved by the larger, more dominant great tits. Normally they forage differently, he says, and at feeders it's simply clear to both that the great tit goes first. However in May 2021, we watched a blue tit repeatedly chase off a great tit that landed at the feeder where he was already enjoying some sunflower seeds! There are always exceptions to the rules! Gesang: Song: Characteristic, clear, high-pitched, vibrating call. Usually introduced by a couple of accenting syllables, followed by ringing vibrating notes: "ti ti chuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu". [Link] Rufe: Scolding alarm call: "tee-tee-tee-chirruwitt" similar to Great Tit. [Link]

Call: Der sogenannte Regenruf der Männchen, „schrrüt“, der selbst in benachbarten Ortsteilen deutlich variieren kann, erklingt nur während der Brutzeit.

Call: The Blackcap may generate a perplexing variety of territorial calls, though the typical contact call is a hard, tongue-clicking "teck teck" which has a scolding quality to it.

Rotkehlchen / European robin (Erithacus rubecula)
Rotkehlchen. 2020-04-02 09.39.00 Luppmen Profil 		Gesang General: Hoch aber auch bis tief, z.B. 2.9-7.7 KHz. Wikipedia sagt, 'Der Gesang des Rotkehlchens ist mit 275 nachgewiesenen, sich fortlaufend ändernden Motiven äußerst variabel. [Ein einzelner Vogel lernt teilweise mehr als 30 verschiedene Strophen, sagteChristina Ebneter in BirdLife Feldornithologie-Kurs.] Er wird mit vorgestreckter, das Rot betonender Brust, in der Regel von einer hohen Singwarte aus, vorgetragen. Er beginnt etwa eine Stunde vor Sonnenaufgang und ist noch eine gute Zeit nach Sonnenuntergang zu hören, hauptsächlich jedoch während der Dämmerung.
Der Revieranzeigegesang wird normalerweise mit perlenden reinen Tönen und Trillern eingeleitet und fällt gegen Ende langsam ab; hohe metallische Töne werden oft dazwischen eingeschoben. Häufig sind in die 2,5 Sekunden langen Strophen auch undeutliche Imitationsphrasen eingelegt. Auf den Menschen wirkt der Reviergesang lieblich und schwermütig melodiös. Ist das Rotkehlchen hochgradig erregt, verdeutlicht es seinen Willen zur Eskalation durch übertönendes oder störendes Singen.' Ich habe in Ticino und Falera festgestellt, dass die Rotkehlchen immer noch singen und habe es nachher auch daheim im Zürcher Oberland gehört; das Ende des Singen Ende Juli ist anscheinend relativ. Seitdem weiss ich dass es eine der wenigen Vogelarten ist, die auch in Winter ein Territorium verteidigt...darum.

Call: A variety of calls is also made at any time of year, including a ticking note indicating anxiety or mild alarm. [Link] ♫ I heard 3 or 4 scattered birds calling it in woods with underbrush but saw no birds. BirdNet told me they were robins, which I found hard to believe, but on comparing it with recordings at XenoCanto, I was convinced!

 Gesang: Song medium to very high pitched, with mostly clear tones with a liquid quality. Timbre reminiscent of Wren or Dunnock, but with a much more varied structure and tempo. Pitch ranges from very high to low, almost thrush-like, notes. No recognizable motifs. Often ends on a rising or falling pitch, giving it a "Chinese" accent.

The song seems to defy description - described variously as the jingling of a bunch of keys, like crushing glass or the pouring of broken glass (the German Wikipedia refers to a nickname 'Glasscutter'), the sound of a cork twising in a bottle (Thomas Seilnacht on digitalefolien.ch), and one source I can no longer find talked about a ruined cassette tape. A Portuguese web site aptly calls it 'a high-pitched and fast rambled sum of indistinctive elements', and U. Cornell's ebird.org calls it frantically fast, oiseaux-birds.com 'a prolonged, wheezy, chirping', beautyofbirds.com 'a buzzing trill'.
Das Gesangsrepertoire umfasst über 50 komplexe Silben, die in einem sehr schnellen Tempo und einer sehr stereotypen Reihenfolge eigene Lieder bilden.

Das Gesangsrepertoire ist unter den Stieglitzartigen (Carduelinae) einzigartig.[1] Zudem umfasst es eine variable Menge an Silben, die auch im Gesang anderer Vögel verwendet werden. Es konnte bewiesen werden, dass die Komposition des Repertoires geographisch variiert.
