Has anyone got a Wav. file or similar of a Radde's Warbler call or know of an online resource for the same?

The usual site for such things, western palearctic bird sounds http://www.ifrance.com/wpbs/ doesn't have Radde's. two Duskies however. Raddes is a fuller and slightls softer noise.

Not that I have heard many. For some reason I get follwed about by Dusky Warblers and loud ones at that...I think all the "Tacking" drowns out Raddes!

Radde's often doubles up its call (Tek Tek), which Dusky doesn't.

Hmmm. Me and a couple of other birders had an 'eye-browed' phyllosc this morning on my local patch. It was very elusive and none of us have had prolongued views. All I can say is that it is a brown phyllosc with a whopping super, which because of the lateness, I thought was a probable Dusky, but the call it was giving matches the description of Radde's - "a soft, repeated chett". It certainly couldn't be described as "a harsh tac".
I'll go back down there this afternoon and give it another go.

Saw the bird well, but briefly, a couple of times at 3.30pm. Enough to confirm the identity as Radde's Warbler - a First for the main island.
Thanks for your input Jane and Tim.

Nice one Chris - not that bad an autumn for passerines on the IoM mainland after all then?

Best distinction between Dusky & Radde's:

Dusky Warblers have feet.

Radde's Warblers don't. They have talons.

I think they move like hippos too! On account of their big feet and legs.

Jealous. It must have nearly come here.

Well done Chris - you after the complete phyllosc set this year, what with Greenish & Yellow-browed already in the bag?
