The calling signal is a phrase consisting of syllables following each other with a period of about 1–2 s ( Figs. 142–156 ). Each syllable includes rather prolonged more or less monotonous fragment consisting of partially merged pulses and followed by 5–6 short discrete pulses; sometimes discrete pulses are absent ( Fig. 147 ). Quite often gradual change of a syllable pattern can be observed within the same phrase ( Figs. 142, 143, 145 ).
