Sweeeo chiffchaffs in Copenhagen, spring 2024
2024-05-18
The birds I admit that I haven't been cutting edge sharp on the finer details of tristis identification. Tristis, the Siberian subspecies of the Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita) [gransanger]. The common chiffchaffs are indeed that in our region: common, whereas tristis is only visiting in few numbers, and mainly during the autumn migration. I've mostly hold in memory that tristis has a quite different, more chicken-like call, iiie, compared to the standard huit-call of the common birds. These two calls are distinctively different in the field, and in our region the main confusion regarding the birds saying huit refers to Willow Warbler [løvsanger], although willow tends to give it as two syllable call more like, huu-it. However, without an analysis of the sound, that can be difficult to perceive in the field. To the untrained ear, I'm sure many tiny calls from various song birds can sound like a tristis. More than focusing on the difference in calls, I've also noted, when studying the subject, that there exists a general warning-opinion about common birds being able to give calls similar to the ones given by tristis. I've come to interpret this as: "Be aware that the common birds can have many different calls, why it has to ... read more |

Åh - April måneds Guldsmede! Jeg nåede lige at få det tidlige forårs førsteelsker registreret i marts måned. Den 30. sad der en enlig Sørgekåbe og varmede sig i græsset i heksegryden. Og rundt omkring i skoven havde lidt hvide c'er og nældens takvinger også forladt deres vinterhi, men uden at prange. En uge skulle vi ind i april før der kom lidt mere flow i sørgekåberne med 7 dyr på 3 dage og dagpåfugleøjer og citronsommerfugle blandede sig i forårskoret. Og så døde det pludselig ud, for april dukkede sig, og lagde sig om med kulde og regnfulde dage. Først i de sidste dage af måneden, da varmen begyndte at titte frem igen fra syd, kunne den flagrende fornøjelse fortsætte med skovblåfugle, auroraer og skovrandøjer nu i farvepaletten. De varme dage fortsatte ind i starten af maj, og ... read more Just try it.
