Description

This garden warbler song is recorded with microphoones nearby
These birds usually don't choose a position in the top of a bush or tree, as many other songbirds do. I bought a shelter tent in 2019, and this works great! This allowed me to capture this garden warbler up close.
My microphones were about two meters below the bird under the bush, fortunately he was not afraid of that, if he saw them at all. It sounds like a studio recording.
The song is confusable with that of the blackcap https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3e4ptTos2c3F5Td0BGNFmdc1mHygtReK, although compared to that species it is slightly lower-pitched, less broken into discrete song segments and more mellow. Both species have a quiet subsong, a muted version of the full song, which is much more difficult to separate. Subsong also may be heard on the wintering grounds in Africa, developing into the full song in March and April prior to the return to Europe. Here's a link to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBs1-4j4ces

Een tuinfluiter kiest niet altijd een goed zichtbare zangpost in de top van een struik of boom, zoals nogal wat andere zangvogels doen. Ik had in 2019 zo'n schuilhut tentje gekocht, en dat werkt prima! Zodoende kon ik deze tuinfluiter vastleggen van dichtbij. Mijn microfoons stonden zo'n twee meter onder de vogel onder de struik, daar was hij gelukkig niet bang van, àls hij ze al zag. Het lijkt wel een studio opname.
