Lesser whitethroat? Mallorca today (1 Viewer)

Thanks for any help?

No - quite unlike a lesser whitethroat.

Have a listen to subalpine warbler.

 

[Butty]

Seems a bit more like Sardinian warbler - not as staccato as subalpine warbler.

Once agin, can I request that people don't post things that download to your computer as this has done!

I'm not sure how people would/could not do this, but, in any event, they're never not going to do it when it's part of how the site works.
If the issue is minimizing (mobile?) data usage, then the secret is simply not to click on links: clicking a link downloads data to your computer/phone; this is how the web works. Whether it downloads it silently and secretly to an unknown location (as is usual), or visibly to a folder you can browse to (as with this video), is neither here nor there as far as data-usage goes.

The one thing I'd ask is that people try to keep their image/video sizes "reasonable". I'm really not sure that (e.g.) 10MB+ files add much in most cases

On Mallorca it would be Moltoni's singing not 'Subalpine' - Xeno Canto have not yet split them.

I have sometimes thought that Moltoni's has a Sardinian feel to it as it includes the rattling call in the song.
