nicht musikalisch

Baumfalke / Eurasian hobby (Falco subbuteo) ■■
nicht musikalisch slow low (1-3 KHz) . General: About 20 single notes.

einfach rhythmisch

Schwanzmeise / Long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) ■■
einfach rhythmisch slow high (7-9 KHz) . - Kontaktruf. Die fast ständig geäusserten, hohen Rufe verraten die kleinen, rastlosen Turner im Gezweig meist schon, bevor sie zu sehen sind. [Link]
Call: Call: quite short, chirping, twittering "tzzirrret tzirrrret". Often starting at high pitch and rapidly falling, or just flat. Also a thin, slightly falling "zi zi ziii". [Link]

einnotig
aufsteigend

Zilpzalp / Common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita) ■■
aufsteigend einnotig slow medium (2-4 KHz) . Repeated rising note, not too loud
Call: Rufe :einsilbiges „hüid“, hinaufgezogen, wandelbar. [Link]
Contact/alarm call a soft, plaintive ascending "hooeet". Similar to W.Warbler, but shorter with a monosyllabic feel. [Link]


Eisvogel / Common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) ■■
einnotig slow high (5-7 KHz) .
Call: 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]
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]
