Eastern Orphean Warbler Sylvia crassirostris
Skala Vasilikon, Lesvos, Greece 39° 07' 42.7" N 26° 13' 21.0" E 18 May 2017 Singing from an Olive grove with recently tilled ground layer. Song composed of strophes (4-5/min) of six to 10 seconds with pauses of four to five seconds between each. Each strophe consisting of a varied, melodic, low frequency (lower pitched than Garden Warbler for example) output of both sharp and soft, upslurred and downslurred whistles (some Blackbird-like in tone), interspersed with wheezey, scratchy and churring elements, all delivered at a steady pace. Some Nightingale-like repetition. [File
