Call of the Eurasian Hoopoe
My first Hoopoe in the Kaiserstuhl area in Germany. You can hear them regularly in that area, and you even can see the Hoopoe in the distance. It was a long walk in the Kaiserstuhl area and almost without luck, until, finally one sat down on a post close to us calling. We were so lucky.- Michael Billerbeck

Call of the Common Pheasant (♂)
I observed this Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus ♂) walking at the border of a nature reserve with reed area. Occasionally he stopped by to do his call. I found it so funny how it looked like he caught balance again after heavily doing his fast wing flapping after his call.- Michael Billerbeck
