Blackbird switches to quiet song while hunting for food

Common Blackbird (Turdus merula; Svarttrost; Merle noir) sings loudly from tree then drops down to look for grub whereupon it switches to a barely audible twittering song, as if singing to itself. This is a variant of the so-called "quiet song". From the island of Sotra west of Bergen, Norway in early spring. Background songs are Great Tit, European Robin, and Greenfinch.
