Rohrammer von Fanel-Platform aus. 2024-05-22 18:08:53 Fanel/Chablais de Cudrefin und La Sauge Canon EOS R7 200-800mm Shutter speed 10.625
ISO 2000
Exposure 1/1600
Classification: Genus Buntings (Emberiza); Tribe Emberizini; Subfamily Emberizinae; Family Fringillidae
Appearance and identification: A bit like General Burnsides: white sideburns, here curling back around a black head. [Link]
Song: Song variable between individuals and breeding status: A short sequence of 3-5 brittle and buzzing sounds, repeated consistently with marked pauses. Last sound in phrase often has a conclusive feel, but not always. Paired males sing slower than unpaired. Unpaired male song also more contracted, making the pauses between each phrase stand out. [Link]
Calls: Contact call a sharp, descending and drawn "tseeeoo". A bit similar to Yellow Wagtail, but not as sharp and explosive. In migration a thick, and unmusical "chong" is often heard. [Link]
Physical details: length=15-16 cm, wingspan=21-28 cm, weight=16-25 g
Habitats: Wetland
Looks similar to: House sparrow.
Song: General: At Fanel I heard sequences of whistles and trills (buzzes?), just a few notes, but wandering up and down: m h lll, or l m hhh m. Listen to recording of 2022-06-25 13.37.28
