bird song in barga vecchia

A year ago this week we published a series of images of birds nesting in Barga vecchia under the title “Birds nesting around Porta Reale – wildlife in an urban environment”

This year the birds are back but there is something new – a nesting pair which are making strange clicking noises as they search around for grubs, seeds and food.

Maybe somebody out there can name this type of bird with its distinctive red tail and Geiger-counter-like sound?
