It plays a big part where in the world you are, of course. These birds will move around according to food supplies.
I used to think that in summer they fly far and wide. Since I had only seen them in the winter)))), it turned out that they live in the forest in the summer and fly to town for food in the winter. That was news to me))))

Some years, we will have Pyrrhula pyrrhula that sound funny. They don’t whistle as per usual, but rather “trumpet.” These ones have been referred to as “eastern,” because the hypothesis is that they are from Russia, wherefrom they migrate in years when Russian food supply is short.

Interesting, can you show a picture?

A picture won’t suffice, they only differ in the way they sound. It’s like two tones at once rather than the usual monophonic whistle.
 
Thanks, I didn't immediately realize we were talking about the same birds)))))
Never heard them before.
Back when I used to listen to BBC Radio 4 my fave thing was Tweet of the Day. You get to hear a short snippet of birdsong, someone talks about that particular bird for a couple of minutes. It was great. I don't do R4 now and so if I want to catch up with the Tweet of the Day thing I have to sign in to BBC Sounds. Which just irks me so I hardly ever do.

Here's the link, if you're interested.

That's a cool idea for a program! I'm unlikely to mess around with access, unfortunately I don't have the patience)))) will look for clips on youtube
