Red-breasted Flycatcher, Firecrest & Wood Warbler singing in Forest

From a German perspective the Red-breasted Flycatcher is the highlight of this soundscape. This species is restricted mainly to the northern and eastern parts of the country and a typical inhabitant of Beech forests. Its appearance resembles that of a European Robin, but its rhythmic song and its attitude to live high up in the canopy makes this species unmistakable.
