A brief 15 minute stop did not give me enough time to identify a bird calling from deep in the willow scrub and the little varmint would not show itself! The call was like the wheezing call of a Greenfinch but shorter and distinctly di-syllabic. "Wheeze-aw". Repeated every 10 seconds or so. Any ideas? Also present: 1 Lesser Whitethroat singing and showing well 3 Willow Warblers 1 Chiffchaff 1 Cettis Warbler - heard singing 1 Yellow Wagtail 6+ Swallows Ian |

Just a wild guess, but your transcription suggests the so-called "rain" call of breeding male Chaffinches (see BWPi or Concise). Phil |

Hi Phil, Thanks for the tip. Listened to BWPi rain call but its not the call. What I heard was more nasally like a greenfinch. Still a mystery I am afraid! Thanks anyway Best regards, Ian |
