“payes-tes-dettes”, and in German
“Tritt-mik-nich”.

song that can be heard over long distances In English, the song is
described as “crex crex” and in Swedish “nerrp
snerrp”, resembling the sound from two notched sticks being
rubbed together. The song is heard once every second with short
breaks.

bird with a very distinctive “sirrrrrrrrrrr” song,
described as a monotonic, mechanical, and insect-like reeling.
