multiple males in a song contest, a regular event in May; the species does not breed at this exact congregation, but clusters here for food in spring, before dispersing 1/2+ km away to breed;

Two note call from sitting on a wire.

two adult males calling inside a large, isolated juniper, giving a solitaire-like call; one left, then the other bird called a few more times and then went to an exposed perch on top of the 9 m juniper to sing after 2:00; a female was there, and the male joined her inside the juniper after 5:04 when there was complex song, and calling by both (different types) and a few wingbeats, and I could not see what happened (copulation?), then the male flew off a long distance at 6:34, the female remaining, quivering wings a little on an exposed perch on top; interpretation might be male-male competition, female courted by remaining male;
