It's true, I quite like Pigeons
I keep hearing a call that I can't quite match with recordings. I will eventually record it, or maybe find the bird, but I thought I'd try to describe it. It will be interesting to see how any ID suggestions might compare to the recording, or bird if I see it.
It's actually quite easy to describe: It's basically a 1 second "cheep", that pulses every second. Pitch (if that's the right word) is similar to a House Sparrow's call, maybe a little lower. Actually "cheep" might not be the best way to describe it. Do you remember those old Police whistles? sort of a rumbling whistle caused by the pea in it (or was it a Referee's whistle?)? Well that sort of noise but higher pitched.
OK, it wasn't as easy to describe as I thought, but I think that's pretty close. I'm actually starting to think that it might even be a House Sparrow now, but I'll still post this thread just in case.
Thanks.
