einnotig fast high (4-7 KHz) .
Heard from high in the air
Call:Often continued with a dry lower pitched "trrrrrr" before calling again. Very vocal at breeding area, and often a flock will call together. Despite being quite similar to Pallid Swift, the call is probably the best field character to separate the two. Pallid puts the stress on the ending of the call, followed by a quick fall in pitch (dynamics like moaning with a quick release). Plain Swift calls similar to Common Swift, but differs in slightly fluctuating pitch during the call, and a loss of resonance towards the ending (thinner sounding). [Link]

Heard from in the air, loud, with lots of chirps!

einnotig fast low-high (2-7 KHz) .
Heard from in the air, about 6 notes per second (do I find them high??)
Call:Turmfalke kann auch wie einen Specht tönen, scharf und relativ hoch [Link] Most common call a fast series of short, high-pitched "ke-ke-ke". Much less raucous than Merlin or Peregrine. [Link]
nicht musikalisch slow low (1-3 KHz) .
General: About 20 single notes.
Call:Calls when courting and at breeding ground. Most common sound a high-pitched "tew-tew-tew". Similar to Wryneck, but less pleading. Also a sneezing "ktcho". [Link]
