Hello all.
Managed to hear a brand new call the other day. The closest thing I can think of would be the "bzzz" call that redpolls sometimes make, or even the "rrr" twite thing that I just listened to in the bird calls under resources. The difference is that this was a rolling r call that was very clear and very hard. I figure if you dropped a series of pebbles fast enough onto a rock, you'd get pretty close to what it sounded like.
The bird itself was on it's way south with two fieldfares and a pipit at around 7 am, 50 meters up in the air. It was the size of a redwing, or a tad smaller, and pretty much flew like I'd expect a redwing to fly...
As always, ideas are much appreciated.
Oh, and since it's friday night, cheers B
