 Isabelline Wheatear  Oenanthe isabellina


 

  Sonogram of Isabelline Wheatear song

Vigla, Lesvos, Greece  39° 13' 44.1" N  25° 57' 23.9" E  22 May 2017

Territorial song from dry, barren crown of a hillside c360m.

Song composed of long strophes of up to 25 secs begining with a short, sharp, downslurred whistle element, repeated in single or double phrases, before terminating in a crescendo of more complex phrases consisting of wheezes, hisses and harder 'chack' and 'churr' elements. This bird uttered all strophes during aerial display flights.
