Yesterday there was a very nice songtrush singing in the background of Ehas nest.
I recorded it. Jo UK proposed to open a new thread to share birdsong-recordings.
So there is the sweet singing Song Trush from Ehas nest.

Hi!

Many thanks mareewi

I found this one => xeno-canto

and sometimes I also use => oiseaux.net

This year the European Days of migration (Euro Birdwatch 2014) will take place on 4 and 5 October

this morning a golden oriole Oriolus oriolus (maybe even two) was singing and calling near the Juras-Erglis WTE nest. i looked up a more clear recording of both the song and calls.

last year near the previous J-E nest there were also a lot of golden orioles who made these nasal 'vsäähehk!! calls. that voice was then new to me then. i guess that most of us can recognize the beautiful slightly blackbird-like whistling song. in this bird "karaoke" video the song and call are transliterated in Finnish.

Would love it if someone could listen to the birds singing in the background here: http://pontu.eenet.ee/player/juras-erglis.html & please tell me if you know the bird that chirps in rapid succession, making the same chirping sound over & over for a bit before stopping to take a breath, then repeats the pattern.

eehhhhh... it is a bit difficult based on this information.

next time when you hear it could you write a note there and write the time when you heard it (camera time). then i could make a video of it and maybe it would be possible to identify the bird.

Will do. Thanks, ame !

i think that the bird you mean may be a chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita). very onomatopoetic name: the bird sings its own name. its tiltaltti in Finnish, that's how it sings in Finnish.
Durberts pooped and made some after-rain wing exercises at the same time.

here's a voice sample for comparison:

this chiffchaf sings more lazily than the one heard here.

is this the bird you had in mind?

Yep, that's the one. (I posted a response over at the WTE forum but it disappeared). Thanks, ame!

Hello again, Looduskalender friends.
After a long absence I feel the urge to return (is it Spring?)
Today I had e-mail from xeno-canto, a website that gives us bird-song recordings. Here is the body of the e-mail:

Springtime in the northern hemisphere is the busiest time on xeno-canto.
The signs are that 2016 will be no exception: 260+ recordists have already
uploaded in march.
Excellent!

Soon the bulk of the migrants will arrive and there will be lots to hear
outside.

So, get out your recording kit, pick a quiet spot or hour, and try to
record some local sounds you haven't recorded before.

Maybe a fresh arrival or a passing migrant. Or a local dialect or a
complete song bout of a bird in the dawn chorus.
Perhaps you can compare the vocabulary of different individuals, listen for
mating sounds, begging calls, or document mimicry...

Remember that common birds make worthy subjects and that surprises may be
waiting around the corner!

Hello Jo, very nice to see you here again. Spring is here, with more and more bird song for every day, and it's so nice to know that the best is ahead of us. Thank you for the link, I had almost forgotten about xeno-canto

Lussi - great to meet up with you again!

besides eagles one can hear also other birds singing near the nest. these a recording at the Latvian WTE nest.

April 3rd at 14:40 a green sandpiper (Tringa ochropus) called near the nest.


April 6th at 6:00 a mistle thrush (Turdus viscivorus) sang near the nest.


April 8th at 5:48 a robin (Erithacus rubecula) sang near the nest.
