– Firecrests utter a lot of different calls during bird migration
– the multi-syllable ‘SeSeSeSe’ often is regarded as flight call
– but the normal flight call is a monosyllabic W-shaped ‘TSETT’.
– timbre not unlike Willow and Marsh Tit, only softer and quieter
– the call is slightly variable
– shape and timbre surprisingly different from Goldcrest
