Relevant to Denmark, always more elongated and sharper looking than the sympatric chiffchaffs. The legs are dark red rather than black and the eye stripe darker too. The primary projection is long on Willow compared to Chiffchaff. The two breed in the same type habitat and areas, and is best id'ed during the summer by sound.

Ellevehøjvej. Song. Two song sequences, but I'm not sure if it's the same bird or two different. Also: Common Chiffchaff. |

♀. Ellevehøjvej. Call. This bird was calling in a strange way, that caught my attention; probably aided by the many deviating chiffchaffs that I'm working on these days. The flimsy call, is not something I've heard before, and it took a while before I got a hold of the bird, understanding that it was the female of a willow pair that was whimsying about collecting nest material. The male was there too; the one singing close by on the recording. A few normal hu-it calls, hockey-stick-shaped, are thrown in, most clearly at 33 sec and 44.5 sec. Otherwise it uses the other call characterized by a short descend, a long steep ascend, a medium descend, and at times ending in a very short ascend. Though I haven't heard this before, I don't expect it to be uncommon. It is more likely me who haven't paid attention to such a detail before now. Irrelevant passages have been removed from the recording. Also: willow warbler, common chiffchaff. |
