Hello,
I am new here and hang around nature reserves a lot. A couple of months ago I was visiting Holme Fen, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. It is a lovely, predominantly silver birch, woodland with very peaty soil and a couple of lakes with lots of waterfowl on them.
Info about Holme Fen
The sun had set and in the dark I heard the following. Its been annoying me for weeks - can anyone tell me what bird that is?! You may have to turn the volume up as the recording is not that loud - but it is repeated several times, a quavering type of call of fixed length. Also, it was NOT coming from the direction of the lake, but instead seemed to be coming from the main woodland area behind me so I do not think it is any sort of water bird.
Location - Holme Fen near Peterborough
Time - 9 -10pm approx?
Date - 14th August 2022

Many thanks,
