On the 8 Jun, the birds were calling overhead, giving just single well-separated tics (1-3 second intervals). Scarce Swifts we have previously heard (on tape and in the field) tend to be very vocal, with tic-tic-tic faster, and sometimes followed by a chittering call. Although the call of Schouteden's Swift is unknown, as it resides in the same genus as Scarce, it would not be unexpected that they had the same type of call.
