Common Pochard: Song & calls

• Display call (male): A low, soft "whee-ooh" — a creaking whistle heard during the display period in April–May.
• Contact call (female): A hard, rasping "karrr" or "kack" — more aggressive and faster than that of the female Tufted Duck.
• Alarm: Silent — the Common Pochard is generally a quiet duck outside the display period.

Listen to the Common Pochard on xeno-canto and see observations on Artportalen (the Swedish species observation system).
