hastingsmothmanAny #ornithologists on here?
#Bird song identification needed.
Fleeting glimpse of small dumpy bird on a tree near a narrow river running through pasture fields near Winchelsea, East Sussex. Merlin App suggests #CettisWarbler but I know apps are not 100%. Confirmation from someone in the know would be great.
Cheryl Davis@hastingsmothman Can't help with the ID I'm afraid, but Merlin is usually pretty reliable.
Have you tried googling 'Cettis Warbler Song' to confirm the ID? That's what I do when using plant ID apps, those things are usually pretty unreliable!
@GoingFeral thanks for the advice. i did try searching but I couldnt convince myself either way having heard some. Some variations and I couldnt be sure.
@hastingsmothman It gets harder the more you listen to as well I find.
Perhaps you need an auditory palate cleanser, maybe a couple of hours of death metal or the speaking clock might help?
