Unknown bird song from Poland (1 Viewer)

[JayFeatherPL]

28th of March, about 12 pm, the recording was made by the lake where mallards and goldeneyes swim, I didn't see any birds while recording - only frogs, I upload two files: The first one is the whole recording and the second one is the call cut from the first recording, sorry for the poor quality but the bird was in a distance. The unknown call
is the duck-like sound.

Dunno.
What's the lackadaisical somewhat-repetitive warbling that goes on through most of it?

These are frogs.

I think you misunderstand - or have terribly odd frogs.

Well in that case I think I have terribly odd frogs.

Maybe it's another frog (?) -- unless someone comes up with a better idea.

Interestingly enough, Merlin and BirdNET hear Hawfinch, although I don't know if the call's sonogram shape is distinctive enough to clinch the ID.

Here are some photos of these incredible frogs, fortunately I took some.

Nice ones, I mostly get to see Common Toads during spring migration (mostly Green Toads in autumn), although I haven't been making much effort, too.

EDIT: A shame I did delete the recording (although it really wasn't of much use), but I had a pair of frogs deceive BirdNET into thinking they're Nightjars.

Hello,

all frogs in your two pictures are Moor Frogs Rana arvalis.

And with the usual caveat and as I am very far from an expert in amphibian sounds:

The warbling frogs in the recording are Common Frogs Rana temporaria. And some Common Toads in the background.

And the single call you asked for might well be a Common Toad? Because you didnt saw a bird from that direction/area

But better wait for confirmation or correction. Thanks from me too!

Birds are Hawfinch, Blue Tit, Song Thrush, Great Tit, probably more.

Thanks. Far from a typical song thrush - if it is one - but certainly more plausible than 'terribly odd [warbling] frog'.

(OK, at least I misunderstood the 'warbling' reference.)
