*White wagtail / Bachstelze (Motacilla alba)* Bachstelze. 2024-05-16 11:54:46 Kaltbrunner-Riet Profile	bird-song.ch: zweisilbig «zilipp» oder einsilbig «zipp» ♫ Source: XENOCANTO XC644775 - White Wagtail - Motacilla alba alba - call, recorded in Estonia.mp3 (call)	Calls: Contact calls short and sharp. Usually with disyllabic, "bouncing" quality, and with each syllable only accented, not clearly separated from the other (see Grey Wagtail). [Link]

May be mistaken for Greenfinch, but note softer timbre and stable pitch throughout the call. [Link]
*Great spotted woodpecker / Buntspecht (Dendrocopos major)* Buntspecht in Wildert. 2024-08-31 10:29:52 Wildert Profile	General: A chirping (that I couldn't associate in my mind with a woodpecker), repeated at somewhat irregular intervals of about a second 2023: klang in bird-song.ch Quiz wie eine lauter Haussperling Call: Nabu: Der häufigste Ruf ist ein kurzes und spitzes „kix“. Ist ein Buntspecht aufgebracht, etwa durch einen Artgenossen, kann man ein schnelles Schnarren hören. [Link] ♫ Source: XENOCANTO XC200059 Great spotted woodpecker call.mp3 (call)	Calls: Typically it lasts 0.5 seconds, sometimes slightly longer. Contact call frequently hear throughout the year.

*Common kingfisher / Eisvogel (Alcedo atthis)* Endlich wieder ein Eisvogel gesehen. 2024-08-17 08:53:53 Greater Fehraltorf Profile	♫ 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]
*Short-toed treecreeper / Gartenbaumläufer (Certhia brachydactyla)* Baumläufer, wahrscheinlich Gartenbaumläufer. 2022-07-18 08:58:32 Greifensee Profile	General: See the sonogram how the song may descend rapidly from 7Khz to and then climb from 5 to 5.75 KHz, a kind of reversed checkmark.

A thin "sreee" often repeated in an even rhythm, perhaps with slighly shorter pauses. Flight call a short and sharp "wit" used freely when moving about. Timbre recalls wet rubber-boots on vinyl flooring. Note that "mixed singers" of C. familiaris are not uncommon in areas where both species of treecreepers occur. [Link]
*Grey wagtail / Gebirgsstelze (Motacilla cinerea)* Gebirgsstelze am Bach beim Klingnauer Stausee. 2022-02-05 14:16:30 Klingnauer Stausee (man-made lake) Profile	Birdweather hat ein-Noter aufgenommen. ♫ Source: XENOCANTO XC854585 - Grey Wagtail - Motacilla cinerea - 2-note call.mp3 (call)	Calls: Contact call short, metallic and with a clipped ending.

But in great excitement, it utters phrases of about ten notes per second! We can also hear some shrill “sirrrr”, becoming harsher in alarm call. The contact call is a thin “tsit” uttered before to take off. [Link] Calls: The Eurasian nuthatch calls frequently, usually with a loud, sharp dwip normally repeated twice, sometimes more often if excited. It has a shrill sirrrr or tsi-si-si alarm call, and a thin tsit pre-flight call. [Link] Calls: Other: Very varied voice. Ranging from very high pitched whistles and melodic resonant calls, to chattering and nasal mocking sounds.

Drumming of 1.5 seconds duration with decelerating tempo, but not often heard.
