Surely you can tell by the accent?
Not by the accent, but they are chattering birds and the Scottish is less varied vocally than the Common. As typically resident in the Caledonian pine forest, they may have the Highland reserve of the other natives. 😁
The Scottish Ornithologists Club website has comparitive audio recordings of them.
For once I refuse to be led by the nose into your demented domain. 🙂
