Two-notes sound ID. N.Sweden (1 Viewer)

Hello.

Deep in a pineforest, we heard this one, with two-notes phrases.
Maybe "just" a Great Tit ?
Thanks

Hello Surfan,

I get some kind of "familiar bird, but from the US-threads-feeling" from your recording.

I agree with you, quality of the call is so good for a Great Tit, that I think it is indeed one in a pineforest in N-Swden too.

Happy to be corrected, you know!

Yes, the voice is like a Great Tit, but i have NEVER heard them do that sound and i have heard thousands of Great Tits. Well, i thought of Willow Tit or Sibirian Tit too, but i don't know. Thanks for your answer !

I'm unsure about the 2-note call. There's at least 1 Brambling in the background of your recording.

Yes, there were Bramblings and Siskins too.

I don’t get a Great Tit vibe from the “tchip-tchip”call, if anything Wren alarm call might be better?

Cheers

Hmmm.. checked out alarm call for Wren now, but it's not a 2-note at all? LOTS of notes from the Wren. The "tchip-tchip" is another bird. "My" bird made only 2-notes call, no tchipping !

To my ear the almost continuous “tipping” sounds more like an alarm call of sorts, hence why I “suggested” Wren.

Ok. Thanks ! But ther were no tjipping from this bird, only 2 clear notes.

Could you always give the actual location with your ID requests, rather than just 'N Sweden'? Thanks.

I fear that, such is huge number of known calls from great tit, this is no reason to exclude it. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was one - which is not, at all, to say that it is one.

Has some resemblance to this Eurasian Siskin call: XC665065 Eurasian Siskin (Spinus spinus)

 

[lou salomon]

like kuzeycem, that's exactly what I immediately thought: call of Siskin. pretty sure about it.

 

[Hannu Varkki]

Eurasian Siskin alarm call for me too.

 

[surfan]

Thank you all for your answers. Siskin alarm call sounds very well. There were many of them around.

Hello,
thanks Kuzey Cem, Lou, Hannu, Jogresh, Ehsan and Foresttwitcher and Ken and Butty for ID!
Although having seen and hearded so many Siskins over the years, I didnt recognized it. And at first, I cant remember having heard it from Siskin before. But now I am not so sure (surely biased).
You know, thats one reason why I am here. Thanks again!

I’m far from expert on Eurasian birds but have a lot of experience with new world Sisikins (15 species or so) and Spinus was my first thought as well. I don’t get a lot of Eu Siskins where I am now but still good to hear from others that my suspicion wasn’t too far off

To be honest, i've also heard many siskins, but never this call.
