Bird Description Audio
einfach rhythmisch

Mauersegler / Common swift (Apus apus) ■■
einfach rhythmisch fast high (5-7 KHz) . Song: Sie singen im Flug (eigentlich LEBEN sie im Flug), und wenn du sie nicht siehst, schau weiter hoch, dann noch einmal - sie koennen mehrere 100m hoch fliegen oft in Gruppen von 3-10. Kappe abziehen wenn noetig! [Link]
A shrilling trill "zreeeee" of about 1 -2 seconds length, gradually rising in pitch with accentuated firs half, then falling from the middle of phrase. Often continued with a dry lower pitched "trrrrrr" before calling again. [Link]
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]
stereotypisch melodisch

Rauchschwalbe / Barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) ■■
stereotypisch melodisch fast medium (2-6 KHz) . General: Squeaky with occasional buzzes, usually heard in flock.
Song: Kann melodisch sein wenn einzeln gehört statt viele zusammen. [Link]
Song: Characteristic calls and song. Song a sparkling, squeaky energetic improvisation with interspersed contact calls, often with diagnostic ending; an electric and drawn-out "su-eerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". [Link]

Mehlschwalbe / Common house martin (Delichon urbicum) ■■
stereotypisch melodisch fast low-high (2-7 KHz) . Song: Mehlschwalbe klingt weniger melodisch als der Rauchschwalbe [Link]
Merry improv of chirping, contact call [Link]
