– utter at least two different calls in flight
\n– most common is a 2ms dark trill<\/em> – two phrases<\/em>, each consisting of a fast series of same elements<\/em>,
\nuttered singly or a in a row
\n– a 3,5ms long, two-syllabled<\/em>, very nasal<\/em>, Anser-goose-like call is uttered less frequent
\n– the louder, first part of this call is slightly modulated<\/em> and with dense, even partials<\/em>
\n– the second, much quieter part is a 1ms long series of same elements<\/em>, but slower repeated as in the more frequent flight call<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/birds-in-flight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/BIF2924-1_PFR15340_1-11_190223_BIO_gflam-4-1-AD-FC-WS_isr_sewage-ponds_MP6_REF-S_C.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
