Unknown bird call near Baths of Aphrodite, Cyprus, 6 May (1 Viewer)

[rubatroid]

Hi all, I recorded this bird call from a wooded valley near the Baths of Aphrodite in northwest Cyprus last week, but not too sure what it is. Quite a loud call - I was on a path on the other side of the valley and the sound was carrying well. Any thoughts? I guess it could be a Great Tit, sounds a bit tit-like. Not sure what else it could be. Thanks in advance for any input!

Could be begging calls of recently fledged Greenfinch. Here's two examples:

XC573896 European Greenfinch (Chloris chloris)

Calls from some fledged juvenile European Greenfinches, with some calls from an adult bird also. Noise reduction applied, otherwise minimal editing.

XC601912 European Greenfinch (Chloris chloris)

recently fledged young, close begging calls; unprocessed

And again, all I hear is wind?

There are a lot of young, calling Greenfinches around right now.

A lot of wind, yes, but the calls are clearly audible in the background still. Might have to do with your settings (I'm also using headphones, which might help).

Thanks! The call seems a little too uniform and 'clean' for begging calls, and the upslur at the end of each call sounds different to all the Greenfinch begging calls I can hear. It probably doesn't help with the wind as has been mentioned. Will try and see if I can clean up the recording a little bit (any suggestions on best ways to clean up wind noise apreciated!)
