Thanks for your reply Serge!
This recording was made in the middle of may and there were lots of
Carduelis chloris in the garden. The adults have a different kind of
call but I am not sure I have had the opportunity to identify the young
ones.
I think this bird is a breeder in Capri. I=B4ll try to find a recording
with young ones to confirm your idea,
Regards
Oerjan
