Bird	Description	Audio
Bartmeise / Bearded reedling (Panurus biarmicus) ■■	Automatically generated from Xeno-Canto recording. Song: Song a primitive, 3-syllable phrase, consisting of contact call-like sounds. [Link]	♫
Baumfalke / Eurasian hobby (Falco subbuteo) ■■	Automatically generated from Xeno-Canto recording. 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]	♫
stereotypisch melodisch
Schwanzmeise / Long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) Diddly doot-doot-doot-doot hhmll ■■	stereotypisch melodisch slow high (3-9 KHz) . General: Meistens hoert man das Pfief...chk..chk..Pfief von den Rufen, siehe dort. Song: Nabu: Der Gesang ist ein feines Trillern und selten zu hören (someone at XenoCanto compares it to a blue tit trill). [Link] Song: Song: high tsee-tsee; funny downhill trill Song: Rapid, continuous, randomly composed sequence of bubbling,chirping sounds. [Link]	♫
einfach rhythmisch
Zilpzalp / Common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita) ■■	einfach rhythmisch slow high (3-9 KHz) . Seems to consist of 3 notes repeated randomly, occasionally just 2 notes. Though NABU.de says they stop singing at the end of July, I do hear their 3-note song occasionally in October, but just one or two repetitions. Song: Von Mitte August bis Ende September bringt der Zilpzalp regelmäßig Herbstgesang dar. [Link] Lange Reihen (6-20) von „zilp-zalp“-Rufen, meist abwechselnd in Tonhöhe. (Als bemühe sich der Sänger vergeblich den ersten Ton wieder zu treffen , ohne jedoch weit zu verfehlen.) „Zins zahl, Zins zahl, zahl Zins, Zins Zins zahl“ („Zins“ etwas höher als „zahl“) [Link] Song a very distinct: "chiff-chaff-chiff-chiff-chaff-chiff", in a regular clock-like rhythm. Each syllable at seemingly random pitch, but no large intervals tonally. Sometimes "get stuck" at one note. [Link]	♫
Eisvogel / Common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) ■■	Automatically generated from Xeno-Canto recording. 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]	♫
