It sounds as if although they CAN be 'very similar' they often sound 'different' with a third syllable being detectable at least now and then. And it's reasonable to expect that would be apparent over a long series of calls over a few days. And we thought our Greenish last year was a bit tricky eh?<br /><br />Pool skills are premier league these days... until the beer takes over.Tim Allwoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880771201134098940.post-42160374365047926892009-11-03T03:48:11.369-08:002009-11-03T03:48:11.369-08:00Cheers Tim Look forwards to catching up too mate. ...Cheers Tim Look forwards to catching up too mate. Would be interesting to find out about a bit more about the western Turkish Green. What do the bills look like (two-toned, or uniform horn?). Also any photos of 1st winters? <br /><br />That said, claiming the Church Cove as one smacks a bit of clutching at straws to me - surely the entire population only numbers a few hundred at most? <br /><br />I'd like to say I hope your pool skills are improving, but seem to recall getting my arse thoroughly whooped last time round, so it's probably me that should be practising!Ilya Macleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509104038510476680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880771201134098940.post-57773423362454808532009-11-02T14:18:02.418-08:002009-11-02T14:18:02.418-08:00Watcha mate

Plumage can be rather dull, and calls can be very similar indeed to Greenish but whether a bird would give so many calls (Alan Lewis says 70+) that are entirely compatible with Greenish seems very unlikely...<br /><br />Looking forward to birding, beer and pool (and some Green/Green-ish/Greenish talk!) in a week or two!Tim Allwoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880771201134098940.post-86467783591628733182009-11-01T14:17:07.819-08:002009-11-01T14:17:07.819-08:00I have never seen Greenish, Arctic or Green warble...I have never seen Greenish, Arctic or Green warbler anywhere and personally I would have been ecstatic to find a Greenish on my patch.

Greenish sounds like this all the way to Kazakhstan at least. I have recordings from there that I couldn't distinguish from European birds.<br /><br />As you would have realised from the DB article, Green Warblers have more complex calls. In sonagrams, Green tends to have more W-shaped calls, with more modulations (wavy lines). They really sound very different. <br /><br />Hope this won't be too big a disappointment for those who travelled furthest to see the bird! <br /><br />cheers,<br /><br />MagnusIlya Macleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509104038510476680noreply@blogger.com
