Singing from a clearing in a pine bog surrounded by birch.

Song composed of 1.5-2.1 sec strophes, each a series of 3-5 clear, melodic phrases consisting of trills, pure tone elements and buzzes (range 2.0-8.7 kHz). Not unlike a slow Wren. Sung one song type several times before switching to new song type.
