Among the countless glis glis and tawny owl calls (both on the first recording) I've come across this which has me stumped.

I may have distorted it a little - trying to boost the volume and reduce the background noise.

Any ideas?

Revisited the original recording and there's no significant difference in quality - just a lot quieter.

I've listened to it several times more and I'm beginning to think this could be some less usual Tawny Owl call?

Spectogram

The attached spectrogram shows quite pure tones with no harmonics which is consistent with the other recordings of Tawny Owl.

I thought that too but not sure at all. Very interesting call.
