I visited Lake Vendel in Uppland to hopefully record the rarely heard song of the Penduline TIt. I was richly rewarded. Windy conditions but I sat hidden in the reedbeds roughly 20 m away from  a nest nearing completion. The male often sang in the nest or in the near vicinity, and both the male and female built on the nest. Much more complex song than I anticipated!
