Bad Düben in the heat

It shouldn't be over 32°C mid June but it was when I went to Bad Düben on June 21st. I couldn't get a photo of any of the dozens of birds I heard since they were hiding from the heat but I included one sound that I think was of a bird, sounded a bit like a parrot which it surely wasn't. Would be glad if someone could identify that one for me: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/168621870

I did however see quite a lot of insects, could capture some on photo, and a nicely colored orb-weaver. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/168670464

Bad Düben is the access point to Dübener Heide, a nature reserve consisting of mostly broadleaf woodlands, some of which are only about 40 years old after the coal industry left.
