what CALL is that? (SEQ)

Thanks, Tom. I just listened to the Horsfield's call -- but again, it's too fast, one whistle coming immediately upon the next. We're talking a big gap here, between whistles. Yes, I too was astonished to think of the Black-eared... Today I find that the Atlas does show one little dot for our area. But I'm not confidant in myself. I think, It MUST have been something else. Nevertheless, I was instantly alert to it as an unexpected sound.

Cheers,

Judith.
