Bird call combining all the things I should learn better.

Bird	Description	Audio
nicht musikalisch
Baumfalke / Eurasian hobby (Falco subbuteo) ■■	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]	♫
einnotig
Buntspecht / Great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) ■■	einnotig slow low-high (1-8 KHz) . General: A chirping (that I couldn't associate in my mind with a woodpecker), repeated at somewhat irregular intervals of about a second 2023: klang in bird-song.ch Quiz wie eine lauter Haussperling Call: Nabu: Der häufigste Ruf ist ein kurzes und spitzes „kix“. Ist ein Buntspecht aufgebracht, etwa durch einen Artgenossen, kann man ein schnelles Schnarren hören. [Link] Call: Typically it lasts 0.5 seconds, sometimes slightly longer. Contact call frequently hear throughout the year. A short hiccup "kek", sometimes in series. When excited this may escalate into a trill. [Link]	♫
Eisvogel / Common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) ■■	einnotig slow high (5-7 KHz) . 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]	♫
absteigend
Sumpfmeise / Marsh tit (Poecile palustris) ■■	absteigend einnotig slow high (6-9 KHz) . Falling note, relatively long, sometimes repeated - like the pee below without the choo? Call: Most typical call an explosive, sneeze-like "pee-choo", starting high-pitched and ending on a lower note. Error loading Flash for sound! See sound file . [Link]	♫
stereotypisch melodisch
Haubenmeise / European crested tit (Lophophanes cristatus) ■■	stereotypisch melodisch slow medium (1-5 KHz) . 5 oder mehr schnelle, aufsteigende Noten. Erinnert mich an die Blaumeise. Call: Call a characteristic vibrating rolling trill "Trrrrurrrurrrit", with last syllable emphasized and ending with ascending pitch. Often preceded by a couple of introductory "tzi tzi". [Link]	♫
zweinotig
Kohlmeise / Great tit (Parus major) ■■	zweinotig fast low-high (1-7 KHz) . Chuck-a-chuck-a-chuck, sometimes preceded by higher 'wheat!' Call: Generally more full-bodied and resonant calls than blue tit, and not so high-pitched. Characteristic Chaffinch-like "tink tink tink" often uttered by male. [Link]	♫
einfach rhythmisch
Blaumeise / Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) ■■	einfach rhythmisch slow high (3-9 KHz) . Low-high-high, with lightly raspy start, rather high. Call: Scolding alarm call: "tee-tee-tee-chirruwitt" similar to Great Tit. [Link]	♫
einnotig
Gebirgsstelze / Grey wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) ■■	einnotig slow medium (1-5 KHz) . Birdweather hat ein-Noter aufgenommen. Call: Contact call short, metallic and with a clipped ending. Often disyllabic, "tzeet-tzeet", with each syllable more separated than in White Wagtail, and timbre more "dirty". Often starts with the contact call, followed by short melodic phrases. [Link]	♫
einfach rhythmisch
Bartmeise / Bearded reedling (Panurus biarmicus) ■■	einfach rhythmisch fast high (3-7 KHz) . - Gesang. Chirping Call: Usually identified by contact call; a ringing, explosive "tschin" with a characteristic "dirty" timbre. Also a hard and very short "pit", often mixed with the previous. [Link]	♫
Schwanzmeise / Long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) ■■	einfach rhythmisch slow high (7-9 KHz) . - Kontaktruf. Die fast ständig geäusserten, hohen Rufe verraten die kleinen, rastlosen Turner im Gezweig meist schon, bevor sie zu sehen sind. [Link] Call: Call: quite short, chirping, twittering "tzzirrret tzirrrret". Often starting at high pitch and rapidly falling, or just flat. Also a thin, slightly falling "zi zi ziii". [Link]	♫
einnotig
aufsteigend
Zilpzalp / Common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita) ■■	aufsteigend einnotig slow medium (2-4 KHz) . Repeated rising note, not too loud Call: Rufe :einsilbiges „hüid“, hinaufgezogen, wandelbar. [Link] Contact/alarm call a soft, plaintive ascending "hooeet". Similar to W.Warbler, but shorter with a monosyllabic feel. [Link]	♫
stottern/kieseln
Mönchsgrasmücke / Black cap warbler (Sylvia atricapilla) ■■	stottern/kieseln einnotig slow high (3-9 KHz) . General: Sputtery/stoney, but may have other calls too. Call: The Blackcap may generate a perplexing variety of territorial calls, though the typical contact call is a hard, tongue-clicking "teck teck" which has a scolding quality to it. It's not dissimilar to the 'pebble-clacking' call of the Stonechat. [Suffex Wildlife Trust] Call: „täck“ oft wiederholt [Link] Alarm call a hard "check", similar to Lesser White-throat. Sometimes with an additional hoarse and nasal "cherrrr". [Link]	♫
stereotypisch melodisch
Stieglitz / European goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) ■■	stereotypisch melodisch fast low-high (2-8 KHz) . Der Name 'Stieglitz' ahmt den Ruf (sti-ge-lit) angeblich nach. [Link] Call: Other calls: A harsh budgerigar or house martin-like "trrrtt-trrrrt". [Link]	♫
einnotig
stottern/kieseln
Rotkehlchen / European robin (Erithacus rubecula) ■■	stottern/kieseln einnotig slow high (4-9 KHz) . Personal: A single note usually repeated twice. Somewhat sputtery. BirdID refers to 'a thin, electric "tick". In one source said to be used as alarm call. Call: A variety of calls is also made at any time of year, including a ticking note indicating anxiety or mild alarm. [Link] Call: Alarm call a thin, electric "tick", often in series with decelerating tempo. [Link]	♫
aufsteigend, stottern/kieseln
Hausrotschwanz / Black redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) ■■	aufsteigend, stottern/kieseln einnotig slow medium (4-5 KHz) . - Alarmruf. XC560014 matches exactly what BirdID describes: 'Alarm call is a chat-like alternation between short, high-pitched "wit" sounds, and series of hard and dry "teck".' The high-pitched call I heard recently was between 5 and 6 KHz, which could help to distinguish between other birds with a deeper voice. The whooping call is sometimes listed as an alarm call. Call: „hüid-tze“ das tze deutlich tiefer. [Link] Alarm call is a chat-like alternation between short, high-pitched "wit" sounds, and series of hard and dry "teck". [Link]	♫
Amsel / Common blackbird (Turdus merula) ■■	einnotig slow medium (1-5 KHz) . - Alarmruf. Sharp-edged call, mostly one note. Call: Je nach Situation, „duck duck duck“, „tix-tix-tix“ in rascher Folge, „srieh“ (auch als Flugwarnruf) [Link] Large repertoire of calls. Most characteristic is a hysterical rattle often given when flushed. Sometimes preceded by a hard "tok tok", which then accelerates into a panicky arpeggio-like crescendo. Contact call a thin redwing-like "srrreee". Alarm calls: a sharp "tink, tink" or a very high pitch falling whistle. [Link]	♫
aufsteigend
Gartenrotschwanz / Common redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) ■■	aufsteigend einnotig slow medium (2-5 KHz) . - Kontaktruf. At least in French, this is called the huit call. Not very consistent in tone from one note to another. Some stick to 3-4 or 3-4.5 KHz, others 2.5-5.5. Call: „Füid-tack“ das füid ähnlich dem des Fitislaubsängers, das tack schnalzend. (wie wenn man die Zunge schnell vom Gaumen abzieht) [Link] Alarm call a slightly drawn, Willow Warbler-like "huit" with a rising pitch, followed by a short, soft "tuc". [Link]	♫
Drosselrohrsänger / Great reed warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) ■■	Call: Rufe:“kerr“ (tief), „ tek“ [Link] Contact call a grating, dry "kirrrat", where each rolling r is discernable. Fairly concise motifs typically consisting of two deep mono- or disyllabic notes followed by a few higher tones. I.e: "kerek kerek, trii trii trii". Clamorous Reed Warbler differs in more diffuse motifs. [Link]
Mauersegler / Common swift (Apus apus) ■■	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]	♫
Rauchschwalbe / Barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) ■■	einnotig slow medium (1-5 KHz) . - Flugruf. Call: Contact call a short and sharp "weet" or "kee-weet". [Link]	♫
einfach rhythmisch
Mehlschwalbe / Common house martin (Delichon urbicum) ■■	einfach rhythmisch fast high (4-7 KHz) . Heard from in the air, loud, with lots of chirps! Call: Contact call a rolling "krreet". Similar to Sand Martin but noticeably dryer, more rolling and less raucous. Typically varies the pitch of the call more. Warning call a sharp and plaintive "tsreee". [Link]	♫
einnotig
Turmfalke / Common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) ■■	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]	♫
Fahlsegler / Pallid swift (Apus pallidus) ■❑	- Flugruf. No details but a Xeno-Canto recording. Call: Common swift has a more even call, with accents on first part, without the sudden pitch-drop. [Link]	♫
