Listen to the impressive birds, whose sounds indicate their territory, warn of danger or just want to impress the opposite sex. Especially when smaller species are difficult to spot in the thicket of leaves, songs are a way of identifying them. The National Park - Schilfhide opens up unexpected insights.
