Eurasian Wren
Extraordinarily loud for its tiny size: a rapid, powerful stream of trills, buzzes, and churring phrases. One of Europe's loudest songs by volume relative to body weight.

About These Birds
Belted Kingfisher
물총새는 암컷이 수컷보다 더 화려하여 추가적인 붉은색 배 밴드를 가지는 것이 특이합니다. 이 시끄러운 새들은 독특한 덜컹거리는 소리로 영역을 알립니다. 강둑에 무거운 부리를 사용하여 최대 2.4m 깊이의 둥지 굴을 판다.
Eurasian Wren
굴뚝새는 유럽에서 가장 작은 새 중 하나이지만 놀랍도록 큰 소리로 노래한다. 몸무게 10g 미만이지만 노래 소리는 500m 이상 퍼진다. 추운 날에는 집단으로 모여 체온을 유지한다.
