Some bird (or small group) calls every night, any time during the night from dark until light. I have not noticed it during the day or at dusk, only full dark.
The best description is probably that it sounds like a squeaky dog toy... here is a not very good recording (turn the volume up!)
It's fairly loud, clear and noticeable.
They call either from a small playing field or from the trees nearby. It's right next to a river and close to a small nature reserve with woodland and wetlands.
This is where I hear them:
My best guesses so far:
Little Owl
Fully nocturnal behaviour and call don't quite match.
Young tawny owl
Doubt it but not sure. It has been going on for a couple of months at least and I think they do it while flying.
Barn owl
This is not nearly so screechy. More cute than terrifying!
Parakeet
Unlikely! But there's a bunch living nearby which make squawky calls during the day...
An obsessed person with a squeaky chicken toy
You never know...
