Single note calls are confusing.

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]	♫
