Question Can u help identify?

Friends
I ws up in Llanberris pass last week, rock-climbing with a mate. We disturbed a bird that flew off with a strange call....sort of staccato 'clack, clack, clack' not like an ordinary bird call at all. Only glimpsed it as it flew off as I was trying to stay on the rock face...It appeared to be larger than a thrush but not crow/raven sized. Zig-zagged somewhat in flight. Any ideas?

Ring Ouzel is quite likely

Sound right for Ring Ouzel - and in the right place.
