Someone on a forum wants to know what this birdsound is, we think some exotic, non belgian bird. Someone who recognizes it???

I remember this call from this earlier thread:

http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?p=3430773#post3430773

I'm not convinced with Golden Oriole.

Sounds a bit like this: http://www.xeno-canto.org/281723

The call in the background of your recording sounds like its responding.

Yeah, haven't found any Golden Oriole recording that really comes close to the sound, this crow-sound is the closest yet.

Unfortunately, the sound stopped about two weeks ago (just when I got some holiday leave and some time to try and spot it...) - I'll have to keep an ear out, if not this year, then next.

In the end, my wife spotted the culprit this morning, turns out it was a regular old Crow (Corvus corone) with a rather unusual cry.

Interesting, thanks for posting it and good to get the suspicions confirmed!
