Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita abietinus?) Gransanger ~ Mosquitero Común ~ Gransångare 2024-08-15 Amager Fælled, Denmark As a sort of follow-up to my spring study of deviating chiffchaff sounds. I think the sounds are from two different birds, but not sure. Sound 5868 recorded a month later on Kalvebod Fælled shows a normallish chiffchaff call, but these two show spectrograms exactly like the deviating sounds. I've only recorded these three birds in autumn until now, but with a 50 per cent deviation, I'll have to try to get more recording to see what it can lead to. Spectrogram 1 goes with sound 1. Spectrogram 2 and 3 go with sound 2. |

Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita ) Gransanger ~ Mosquitero Común ~ Gransångare 2024-09-15 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Pinseskoven. As a sort of follow-up to my spring study of deviating chiffchaff sounds. There have been many fast rising calls during the last month from local birds and birds moving south. I admit I haven't put a detailed ear to all of them, being focused mostly on dragonflies, but still I've tried to pay attention. One of theories about the deviant calls is that they belong to juveniles. I decided to record this one because it reminded me a lot of the special recordings I made in May. Sharp and linear without the normal chiffchaff sound. But looking at the spectrogram it is obvious that it doesn't look like the deviating sounds, but more like a normal chiffchaff, though perhaps not completely. But perhaps it's a normal presentation of a juvenile calling on its way south in the autumn? I didn't see the bird more than a short glimpse. Also: Female chitterchatter. |

Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata ) Same bird: 122 Mandarinand ~ Pato Mandarín ~ Mandarinand 2024-07-10 Tømmerupvej (Tårnby), Denmark ♂♀. Ullerup branddam. Still here, Mr. Left and his two concubines under the Shadow Tree. I'm probably not going to photo document their presence every time I pass by in the future. Their non-wild origin makes it not so much fun anymore. But of course, if the original female shows up for another winter period I might do, to follow their interaction. Though this show was already on last year, and didn't provide much fun, with her acting like a genuinely reserved Lady Bird. Introduced |

Pygmy Cormorant (Microcarbo pygmaeus ) Dværgskarv ~ Cormorán Pigmeo ~ Dvärgskarv 2024-06-14 Slotsmosen (Slangerup), Denmark Found by a local on June 5, but probably the same bird was already seen further NE on Sjælland on May 28. It therefore became an almost new species for the country, just beaten by 4 days by a bird seen in Sønderjylland by Ole Zoltan Gøller on May 24. The present bird is very likely the same as a bird that has been roaming on the Swedish side of Øresund, and perhaps even the same bird as a first for Skåne found on April 26 on the south coast at Hörte between Trelleborg and Ystad. On June 7 and 8 it was on the Swedish coast, and returned to Slotsmosen on the 9th, and has very likely been on the Danish side until the 17th [reported as 0 on the 18th]. As can be seen it was roosting far out in the middle of the lake, when I visited, leaving no chances of good footage. It did a single foraging dive and returned to the same perch, where I left it to continue my tour into the magic world of butterflies and dragonflies..! Rare |

Eurasian Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia ) Skestork ~ Espátula Común ~ Skedstork 2024-06-17 Kongelundsområdet, Denmark Kofoed's Enge. Up to ten birds have been seen in the area this year. They still hang out (breed?) on Peberholm close by, south of Saltholm, though I'm not sure how many have been seen there this year. They seem to be rather mobile these days, foraging in various places. Collecting for chick feeding or just themselves is the question. |

Eurasian Golden Oriole (Oriolus oriolus ) Pirol ~ Oriol ~ Sommargylling 2024-05-30 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Snogevej. Likely a male but couldn't get on to it, as it was singing from the dense top birch foliage, and constantly kept the distance as I tried to get closer. An afternoon bird. Also: willow warbler, great spotted woodpecker, airplane. |

Rufous-chested Swallow (Cecropis semirufa gordoni) Rødbrystet Svale ~ Savannsvala 2024-05-10 Rørtang Overdrev (Snekkersten), Denmark New species for Denmark and Europe. Mikkel Høegh Post* Discovered the day before (also present May 11th). One of these incidents that you simply can't predict, why the wow-effect lies beyond comprehension. With this bird traveling far north of its destination, probably the Senegambian/Sahel region, anything can happen. It probably continued north with other swallows, as it was foraging here in a mixed flock with Barn Swallows and House-Martins. The paleness of the bird makes it likely that it belongs to the northern subspecies, indicated, and the brownish and worn remiges, contrasting with the darker mantel, indicate a 2cy bird. Short outer tailfeathers compared to the adult male, could go with either a female or a young male. Unfortunately the weather was overcast why it was extra difficult to get good photos, even though the bird behaved very accommodating, with continued foraging tours right above our heads. It was a larger and heavier bird in flight than the Barn Swallows - though that impression might have been emphasized by the darker underside. Rare |

Willow Warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus ) Løvsanger ~ Mosquitero Musical ~ Lövsångare 2024-05-08 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark ♀. 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. |

Thrush Nightingale (Luscinia luscinia ) Nattergal ~ Ruiseñor Ruso ~ Näktergal 2024-05-04 Vinkelhuse (Tårnby), Denmark ♂. Song. Still present, singing eagerly both night and day. And still from the hedgerow bordering our property in front of the station. Last year it also started out there, but then began to move to different spots in the vicinity, probably marking the border of its territory. It's interesting to watch the spectrogram, which indeed reveals a vocal master in full display - it almost looks like a music score created by the one of the great masters - but of course the inspirations is opposite. Masterly Bird! Also: traffic noise. |

Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita abietinus?) Same bird: 173 Gransanger ~ Mosquitero Común ~ Gransångare 2024-05-03 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Thicket between Ottehøjevej and Ellevehøjvej-sporet. Originally suspected to be a tristis. Bird 2. Call. Still very actively calling, spontaneously, but today it had expanded its range, as I found it at the north end of the clearing, toward the shelter clearing. But it moved back to the original spot when I started to chase it. Also: willow warbler, great tit, airplane. |

Ferruginous Duck (Aythya nyroca ) Hvidøjet And ~ Porrón Pardo ~ Vitögd Dykand 2024-05-05 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark ♂. Birkedammen. SEK* found today. Comments about this bird that it should be the same as the one that showed up last year, is rather speculative, I think. And why this bird should be a 2cy bird, I also can't understand, with all details pointing toward an adult. Except for the eye, that doesn't look really white - this could indicate a young age. There were only few, <10, Tufted Ducks in the lake, as expected this time of year, why there is probably not much incitement for it to linger on - but let's see. Maybe it's going to take a sabbaticals in 2024. First three photos taken from the dike, and the last three from the lake side (last tricky because of the tall reeds blocking the view). Rare |

One of the willow warblers hanging out near the aberrant chiffchaff that is visiting now. Easy to recognize with the well-marked head pattern and long primary projection. The color of the legs is not as pale as can be. |

Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita abietinus?) Same bird: 174 Gransanger ~ Mosquitero Común ~ Gransångare 2024-04-29 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark ♀. Pumpehus-broen, Hejresøen. Originally thought to be a tristis. Bird 3. 16th day. The bird has been silent for a few days, why I thought it had left. As goes for all the abietinus candidates that I'm investigating these days, it seems to have lost part of the spirit, calling for shorter intervals. I guess it's a brood patch you can see in the first photos, why the bird is a female, something I've suspected all the time by the behavior. But if it is in breeding mood, it is interesting why all the willow warblers and chiffchaffs that are constantly active around it don't seem to be interesting. Perhaps she is still waiting for a true male of her own kind to arrive, or perhaps she is that different that she simply doesn't recognize the others as potential mates...sound of today to be added. Also rec 1: common chiffchaff, willow warbler, airplane. |
