Singing
from wooded hillside of Sweet Chestnut, Oak, Plane and
Olive.
Song
composed of short 1.0 sec strophes, each composed
of a series of 9-18 repeated, downslurred elements, sounding very
like the dry rattle of Western Bonelli's Warbler (P.
bonelli). Song strophes interspered with 'chip'
call notes consisting of a single, sharp, slightly downslurred
element - completely different from bonelli (musical,
up-then-downslurred 'too-eee'). Each
strophe repeated up to six times per minute.
