Remarks from the Recordist

Song - given from wires by a single bird; another nearby. Song in this recording sounds a little more definitely structured, cheery and repetitive than many individuals of this species do. Hume's Wheatears (which are resident at this site) were, on this visit, seen to chase newly arrived Red-tailed Wheatears several times.
