Hi,

I already recorded songs of Common Nightingale with some notes going
over 13 kHz. There is also a recording of a 12.3 kHz call of Lesser
Whitethroat in "The Sound Approach to Birding" (Mark Constantine) and in
Europe, we often hear calls of male Blue Tits just before mating which
are between 10 and 12 kHz.

Cheers,
yves
