Hello, some days ago I recorded a bird singing with my trail camera in a river forest in Guadalajara (Central Spain). The bird is not seen during the video, but the song can be heard clearly (I believe the bird is just on the camera :'D ). Can you identify what bird it is? Thank you.

Its hard to ID birds on trail cams because a lot of high frequency sounds are missing. I'll have a look later to see how much is missing. My 1st thought is that it might be a Wren alarming with the upper range missing.

Could also be one of the Sylvia warblers like S. melanocephala?

Pretty sure its a wren.... the sound above 6KHz is missing

Sonagram, sound file, then a normal Wren and a sound-clipped Wren, with >6Khz missing

I don't think so. The only 'Sylvias' that could come even close would be S. conspicillata and S. hortensis, but they sound much harder, faster and on a different pitch.

Agreed, Wren. And not actually 'song', as Jane says.
