Vocalisation
Song: Repeated hi-low pattern...well, doesn't always sound like that. The very short beginning of my Stazersee recording before the static sets in does, as well as a song found online. One recording reminds me of cicada sounds. Forests with conifers. Some spend the winter in Switzerland, others are here year-round.Song:
