White Wagtail: Song & calls

  • Flight call: a sharp two-syllable "tsi-litt" or "tschi-litt" — heard in the undulating flight. The most common way to identify the species.
  • The song: a simple, whispering song of strung-together flight calls — heard from rooftops in the morning.
  • Alarm: a repeated "tsis-tsis" when uneasy.

Recordings are available on xeno-canto and Artportalen (the Swedish species observation system).
