Latest sound recordings
	3588 (5 photos) (1 sounds) Marsh Warbler/Eurasian Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus palustris/scirpaceus ) 2021-10-07 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark First calendar year. This type of bird and the two being the most likely and at this time of year and the bird apparently being a young bird, difficult to separate. This bird I talk about in this 5Chickens blog. The call was recorded later, and might not come from this bird, but I think it is, as I mention in the story.
	3549 (1 sounds) Marsh Warbler (Acrocephalus palustris ) Kærsanger 2021-06-25 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Male. Came across this acrocephalus at 00:30 when doing a larger circuit to find night calling species. With the confirmed and present Blyth's Reed Warbler at Frieslandsvej in mind my first thought, when I heard this one, was that it was indeed another individual. However, despite of the song being slow paced it doesn't include any of the classic dy dy dy notes and also has a faster paced quality to the snarling passages in some occasions favoring Marsh. It's good to have in mind that often some birds subdue their normal expression when singing at this time.
	3548 (4 photos) (3 sounds) Blyth's Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus dumetorum ) Buskrørsanger ~ Carricero de Blyth 2021-06-24 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Male. A singing bird. Discovered by SKR last Friday, by sound, with doubts about its identity, sitting right in the middle of a Marsh Warbler territory - or several. But confirmed by sound and photos today. These photos are perhaps not conclusive, but still show some of the characters to look for: Long bill, dusky distal lower mandible, apparently short primary projection. Picture 1 though blurred, gives the feeling of a short wing. The eyebrow bright in front of the eye is also a good indication as is the flat forehead and the overall cold colors. The last blurry photo just added to show the long undertail coverts - trait of the Acrocephalus-warblers. The bird didn't sing when I was there, but I recorded the soft tjek call that is characteristic when compareing with the realistic candidates to be found at this site. While I was there it mostly stayed low in a ditch with dense vegetation, but came up a few times sitting on the fence for a few seconds before diving back into hide. Frieslandsvej. Update: Added a long song sequence recorded the following night at 00:50. Compare this song with a Marsh Warbler, 3549, I recorded the same night. Rare
	3427 (1 sounds) Stock Dove (Columba oenas [monotypic]) Huldue ~ Paloma Zurita 2020-06-10 Jægersborg Dyrehave, Sjælland, Denmark A rather common breeding bird in the park with the old oaks being an excellent habitat for it.
	3426 (1 photos) (4 sounds) Little Bittern (Ixobrychus minutus [minutus (Little)]) Dværghejre ~ Avetorillo Común 2020-06-10 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Adult male. Hejresøen. Discovered by John Larsen this morning. Rather actively singing when I was there during the afternoon, but not very cooperative visually. Only seen briefly when flying from one spot to another. This song is the typical male song, indicating that it was very keen on finding a mate. Will be interesting to see if it is still there tomorrow after a whole day without a female response. Biggest rarity in my time on Amager, I think, which was also indicated by the large number of birders present during my stay. Excellent experience. Recordings, also: [1:48] Eurasian Blackbird, Common Chiffchaff, Common Cuckoo, Little Grebe, Eurasian Coot, Greater Whitethroat, Eurasian Reed Warbler. [0:29] Bearded Reedling, Eurasian Coot, Eurasian Reed Warbler. [0:51] Eurasian Coot, Eurasian Reed Warbler, Eurasian Moorhen, Red-necked Grebe. [0:27] Eurasian Coot, Eurasian Reed Warbler, White Wagtail, European Greenfinch. Rare
	3425 (1 sounds) Blyth's Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus dumetorum [monotypic]) Buskrørsanger ~ Carricero de Blyth 2020-06-07 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Along Ellevehøjvej in a stretch with Buckthorn more than willow bushes. Was discovered earlier today where it was more cooperating than when I visited. During 3 hours in the evening the vocalization in this recording was practically all it gave. It's not a very obvious documentation but the slow repeated dy dy dy sequences are typical of the species and would be rare with any of the other acrocephalus warblers. My first on Amager. Also: Eurasian Blackbird, Common Chaffinch, Greater Whitethroat, Tree Pipit, Common Cuckoo, Willow Warbler. Rare
	3424 (1 sounds) Common Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs [coelebs by location]) Bogfinke ~ Pinzón Vulgar 2020-06-06 Kongelunden, Amager, Denmark Male singing. Also: Eurasian Blackbird, Eurasian Blackcap.
	3423 (1 sounds) Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra [atra]) Blishøne ~ Gallereta Común 2020-06-07 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Heard from a water-filled ditch late at night. First I thought it was an amphibian, but sounds more like a monotonous single call note from a coot.
	3422 (1 sounds) European Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca [monotypic]) Broget Fluesnapper ~ Papamoscas Cerrojillo 2020-06-07 Kongelunden, Amager, Denmark Song of the same male as 3412 and 3418.
	3421 (1 sounds) Marsh Warbler (Acrocephalus palustris [monotypic]) Kærsanger 2020-06-08 Royal Golf Club, Amager, Denmark Fast intense phrases typical of the species.
	3420 (1 sounds) Wood Warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix [monotypic]) Skovsanger ~ Mosquitero Silbador 2020-06-07 Kongelunden, Amager, Denmark Single call note used by several birds around me. Didn't see them, but could be a family communicating. Also: Eurasian Nuthatch.
	3419 (5 photos) (4 sounds) River Warbler (Locustella fluviatilis [monotypic]) Flodsanger ~ Buscarla Fluvial 2020-06-07 Kongelunden, Amager, Denmark Unmistakable sound, and very characteristic too visually with the grayish tinted streaked breast and finely streaked throat and broadly banded undertail coverts. A large warbler preferring to sit obscured, but luckily came out here for a short while. Found it myself. Same spot as where it was seen many years ago in a lush clearing on the north side of the forest. A good year for the species in Denmark and expected on Amager too. Photo 4 uncropped. Also: [0:44], [0:23] Eurasian Blackbird. [0:43] [0:12] Eurasian Blackcap. Rare
	3418 (3 sounds) European Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca [hypoleuca by location]) Broget Fluesnapper ~ Papamoscas Cerrojillo 2020-06-06 Kongelunden, Amager, Denmark Male singing. Very likely same bird as 3412. Same spot. Also seen, though very elusive, moving away every time I tried to approach it for a photo. Recordings modified with noise reduction and amplification.
	3417 (1 sounds) Greenish Warbler (Phylloscopus trochiloides [viridanus]) Lundsanger ~ Mosquitero Verdoso 2020-06-05 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Active bird singing constantly along Ellevehøjvej in Pinseskoven. Stayed in the top the tall birches and only saw it briefly. Another bird, 3416, was present in Kongelunden and showed better. The song is of the typical type given by a viridanus bird. Also: Eurasian Wren, Eurasian Blackbird, Eurasian Blackcap, Common Redstart, Lesser Redpoll, Tree Pipit, Great Tit. [Recording has been modified by cutting out noisy irrelevant parts. The microphone was moved during recording, affecting the volume of the sound]. Rare
	3416 (9 photos) (2 sounds) Greenish Warbler (Phylloscopus trochiloides [viridanus]) Lundsanger ~ Mosquitero Verdoso 2020-06-05 Kongelunden, Amager, Denmark Typical bird, greenish gray look overall, long broad eyebrow and faint single wing bar. Appearance extremely variable depending on light and angle, as photos show. Singing almost constantly as it is normal for newly arrived warblers. Two song types. The typical thin metallic descending twitter with a single starting note, and an up-and-down sequence resembling Great Tit. Another bird was present today in Pinseskoven, Vestamager. Normal time of year and more or less expected today after rain passed through the Copenhagen area during the night. Sound recordings also: [0:13]: Great Tit, Eurasian Blackbird, Common Chaffinch. [6:18]: Eurasian Blackbird, Eurasian Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Common Chaffinch, Common Redshank. [Recording has been modified by cutting out noisy irrelevant parts. The microphone was moved during recording, affecting the volume of sound] Rare
	3412 (1 sounds) European Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca [hypoleuca by location]) Broget Fluesnapper ~ Papamoscas Cerrojillo 2020-05-28 Kongelunden, Amager, Denmark Adult male singing. A rather discrete song that could easily drown among the more dominant species in the forest. This bird was seen in the southeast department by a supposed breeding spot in mixed mature oak forest with dense understory. Very likely same bird in 3418. Call notes around 00:34 to 00:45. Also: Great Tit, Eurasian Blackbird, Common Chiffchaff, Common Chaffinch.
	3411 (1 sounds) Corn Crake (Crex crex) monotypic Crake Engsnarre 2020-05-21 Amager Fælled, Amager, Denmark Present since yesterday, discovered in the morning. When I arrived some 10 persons were standing in the middle of the field where the bird was supposed to be. I stayed on the path, 50 meters away, confident that the bird would be easy to hear from there as well. And I was rewarded, because shortly after it started to call closer to me than to the others (did they push it too much..?). I approached the sound along the path, and then just waited until it called again, and to my surprise it was much closer now having reached the edge of the path, and just some 5 meters from me. Very loud. I had the recorder running and as you can hear got a very good recording. While standing there I considered if I should try to get my camera in case the bird should decide to show itself. But in the same moment the bird came out and flew along the path away from me and landed some 40 meters away in the shadow of a group of large poplars. My first on Amager, and perhaps even my first seen - ever. Also: Eurasian Blackbird, Eurasian Blackcap.
	3407 (4 photos) (1 sounds) Thrush Nightingale (Luscinia luscinia) monotypic Nightingale Nattergal 2020-05-09 Amager Fælled, Amager, Denmark The insignificantly looking bird with the great voice. Singing until summer solstice, but easiest to spot now before the foliage gets too green and the birds more discrete when brooding starts.
	3054 (1 sounds) Buff-collared Nightjar (Antrostomus ridgwayi ridgwayi) Halsbåndsnatravn ~ Tapacaminos Tucuchillo 2019-06-02 Coto La Condesa, Cd. Guzmán, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico Bird heard behind my house both in the early morning, 05:24 and in the evening 21:12. This being first time ever in the one and a half year I've been living here. Could probably try to see it, but prefer to give it a break, expecting it to be outside its normal jurisdiction.

	2860 (1 sounds) Limpkin (Aramus guarauna dolosus) Riksetrane ~ Carrao 2018-12-06 Crooked Tree, Belize District, Belize Call. Unusual to me without any of the crane-like quality to it. Heard both at night and during the day. The recording is from mid-morning. Also: Common Tody-Flycatcher.

Calling and posing perfectly (camera broke down a few hours before). The long drawnout call. At one point it sounded like it came from another direction, as if another bird was responding.
