Hi Martyn
Thanks for the feedback. Yep, once you get a few in chorus, it's a pretty
amazing mechanical throb.
On the single frog cut: v. close, of the crow family - a rook. But hey
you're on a roll. The slowed hummingbird ID was most impressive. Have you
ever come across the Mediterranean Sylvia warblers? Sardinian, Eastern &
Western Subalpine, Spectacled, Marmora's and Dartford Warblers - these are
real testers for song ID even at normal speed. All are fast chittery/rattly
warbles with a few sweet whistles thrown in. When I first heard them I just
reckoned they were impossible to separate; but if you get well tuned in, yo=
u
can get them.
Best wishes, Geoff.
