Blyth's reed warbler singing at night shadowbox :). Did this while I isolated myself from everything else and now I was able to get tiny led lights to make it glow. made out of paper!

myβ¨ #sparkbird is a Blyth's Reed Warbler! I found this site from an artist I follow. It is a site, where people share their β¨spark birdsβ¨, what got them deeper into birding! I shared my longer story there too!

In 2025, I Recorded 21 Blyth's reed warblers, 14 thrush nightingales, 4 marsh warblers and 3 grasshopper warblers, total 71 hours of birdsong and walked 230+ km to find these birds from May 1 - 25 June! #birds #blythsreedwarbler #flackoweasel
7. Piko! The most rhythmic BRW bird of 2025 for me! Moments like this is why I collect their songs in the first place! They give me MEGA dopamine and hearing their rhythm talent

1. Vuubeli the Blyth's reed Warbler, another talented singer with epic catchy rhythms. He was the first one who stood out in 2025 and his "Ta-koobe" rhythm made my dopamine skyrocket!

This was drawn for Eesti MetsloomaΓΌhing for the auction to help animals. Sadly no auctions happened, I can share it now :) #FlackoWeasel #blythsreedwarbler #acrocephalusdumetorum #birdart #birds
And that's how this part looks like when the onomatopoeias are assembled sync to the song :). Each word was animated separately, then I could reuse the same animated word. Using Flash to animate these.

Another onomatopoeia WIP. This time the "thi" part. No idea of the mimicry yet. BRWs winter in India area, so it has to be some of that bird or some Europe bird. #FlackoWeasel #blythsreedwarbler #birdart #birds #animation
Based on these words sung by Riilu :). As You can see, each onomatopoeia is drawn differently based on the sound BRW do. Each thumbnail what I draw for each BRW song I record, has drawn out their best parts, so you can "see" the song :)

Vuubeli's best moments is here! He was first highlighted BRW of 2025 who had AMAZING CATCHY RHYTHMS! Cant wait what 2026 brings! #birds #birdart #Flackoweasel #blythsreedwarbler #acrocephalusdumetorum
Another amazing commission by Crowmiti of my nr1 fave bird - Blyth's reed warbler!

This "VilΓΆΓΆ" heard here youtu.be/gflie-4rLWU?... (I later heard it more with a V instead of P)
Is a mimicry of an Indian Grey hornbill!

These visual onomatopoeias help me notice shared samples SO much faster! In this video You hear 17 different BRWs do rhythms in their unique way! You can hear how each bird has their own take on these parts, making each one of a kind <3
#Birds #Birdart #FlackoWeasel #Blythsreedwarbler
BRWs winter in the South Asia area so if BirdNET gives me USA birds or Mexico ones, they do not help at all. It has to be the areas shown here in Green (breeding) and blue (non breeding)

Here is another amazing talented rhythm keeping and progressively changing the melody on the go! At first he keeps repeating one rhythm and then starts to slowly modify it by adding 3 samples (Hii-da, fhΓΓΓΓΌΓΌ and Rhh) into the mix! I LOVE THESE BIRDS!
#FlackoWeasel #birds #Birdart #Blythsreedwarbler
Another super unique rhythm on Vuubeli is this seesaw rhythm! Instantly recognizable as only Vuubeli did this part. I am impressed how the "Iii" is in rhythm the whole time even if he switches between the samples.
#Birds #birdart #FlackoWeasel #Blythsreedwarbler
I love how in this rhythm Vuubeli has long tailed tit sound so watery and heavy at the same time! Literally feels like you would drop water filled sponge on the ground! #birds #birdart #FlackoWeasel #blythsreedwarbler
One of my fav parts on Vuubeli is this "Ta-koobe" rhythm! Many BRWs seem to love using this specific sample! Vuubeli is a great example what Blyth's reed warblers are capable to do!
Ta-koobe is icterine warbler mimicry.
#Blythsreedwarbler #Birds #FlackoWeasel #birdart
Now I have that Phits phΓΆ phei stuck in my head lol xD
Another unique rhythm heard on Frutt. I have heard "phΓΆ" before, but not "phei".
#Blythsreedwarbler #Birds #birdart #FlackoWeasel
Frutt makes another interesting rhythm! I have noticed that this "Djarrn" sounds like guitar, so I animated the onomatopoeia accordingly, having Devin Townsend inspired guitar as an illustration :3. I love making bird song come to life!
#FlackoWeasel #BirdsongASMR #Blythsreedwarbler #birds #birdart
One of my fav parts on Frutt the Blyth's Reed Warbler! Sadly I dunno why the AVI made my shines glow squares like :C. I friggin love playing around with onomatopoeias! This is how my Synesthesia works! #Birdart #Birds #FlackoWeasel #Blythsreedwarbler #Birdsong
Started last year, I do BRW song prediction thing, where I come up with a rhythm and I hope future BRW does similar rhythm next year. I doubt many hit, but I can dream <3. Here are my 10 attempts. I Actually like some of the rhythms lol. (1) #Blythsreedwarbler #Birds #FlackoWeasel

Went to check out on 25 June and woah, Jiidu was still going!!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNvf...
This is last recording of Jiidu and season 2025! He was the only BRW left singing, going for 26 DAYS!! IMPRESSIVE! By 30 June, he did not sing anymore.
#Birds #FlackoWeasel #Blythsreedwarbler
Jiidu midsummer edition: youtu.be/TrCVTC5F0ck?...
This years last singing BRW is Jiidu! He has won the LONGEST singing BRW I have ever documented! First heard on 1st June and still going strong!!
#birds #Blythsreedwarbler #FlackoWeasel
When nature gives me BRWs, ofcourse I take the change! I met Vinsket again and recorded him last time! I planned going again on 22 June to get much closer to him, but he has stopped singing :C
youtu.be/fqzd9FAPKBc
#Blythsreedwarbler #birds #FlackoWeasel
This is BRW 21 named Vinsket, who was the last new BRW I found singing this year!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-dA...
That was such a surprise to find! Usually by that time BRWs are already stopped singing! Nature RNG sometimes surprises, as some still are single!
#Birds #Blythsreedwarbler #FlackoWeasel
That night I went to check the area where I heard Jiidu singing, there was new sound in the area where Thrush Nightingale Kuriu was singing. And that's how I found Brebee! He seemed shy as his song had lots of pauses
