- Regenruf. General: Repeated ascending note, faster than the long starling whoops, about 2/seconds - compare with the black redstart.
There are many different calls, the Marler book describes the 'chink' call as functioning as a mobbing and separation call.
At XenoCanto I find calls described as "ping", "pik" (same thing?), "pchew", "duit", "huit", "ti-huit". Call: |

aufsteigend einnotig slow medium (1-6 KHz) .
Das höre ich ab und zu (und gern), der lange aufsteigende Pfeif von tief (1 1/2 KHz) bis hoch (6.5 KHz).

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.

absteigend, Raspel einnotig slow medium (1-5 KHz) .
- Alarmruf. Raspy descending note. XenoCanto submitter of Bavaria called this an alarm call, but it's also called a 'wheeze' and it's part of the song as well.

aufsteigend einnotig slow medium (2-4 KHz) .

Call: |

einnotig fast low (2-3 KHz) .
Schnelle Sequenz - ist es der oben erwähnte 'twit'?
Call: Other: It gives loud calls when excited, an abrupt ‘twit”, only one, or in slow series, but often in phrases of 3-4 notes in rapid succession. But in great excitement, it utters phrases of about ten notes per second!
We can also hear some shrill “sirrrr”, becoming harsher in alarm call. The contact call is a thin “tsit” uttered before to take off.
[Link] Other: Very varied voice. Ranging from very high pitched whistles and melodic resonant calls, to chattering and nasal mocking sounds. Characteristic warning call a hard "check" or "chwit", often in rapid series, like a pebble bouncing on hollow ice. [Link] |
