>> GENERAL >>>>><\/strong><\/p>\n

– sparrow-sized passerine
\n– diurnal\/nocturnal migrant<\/p>\n

>> FLIGHT >>>>><\/strong><\/p>\n

– size like Common Chaffinch<\/a>, but rather long-tailed, which can, with practice, be an important clue
\n– flight quite hesitant and “nervous”, even over long distances, reminiscent of Meadow Pipit<\/a>
\n– on migration often solitary, sometimes small groups of up to 3-5 birds
\n– at roosts sometimes in larger groups
\n– black head of males usually easy to recognise even under poor conditions (sight, distance)
\n– female\/1W birds are difficult (especially if rare species as Rustic Bunting are to be excluded)<\/p>\n

>> SOUND ID >>>>><\/strong><\/p>\n

– flight call a single, two millisecond, piercing downslur<\/em> like tsee<\/em> or tseet<\/em>
\n– resembles European Penduline Tit social call, which is usually twice as long
\n– monophonic<\/em>
\n– two, sometimes three distinctly weaker partials<\/em> are visible in sonagram
\n– the slur is slightly variable
\n– less often birds utter monosyllable, harsh, typical bunting-like social calls
\n– the social call is medium variable, possibly due to age (plastic calls<\/em>)<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/birds-in-flight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/BIF0933-1_PFR07958_1-11_131016_BIO_crbun-schoeniclus-1-FC_d_by_maehring_SASS_B.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
