Bird call with recording - Scotland (1 Viewer)

[Hyrax]

Hi all,

This attached was recorded remotely at about 6pm this evening (would still have been light). The device is in a tree in mixed woodland right next to open water and reedbed. I feel like I've heard it before but I'm completely stumped to be honest.

To be clear it's the repeated sets of 3, fast, ascending notes I'm interested in.

Cheers,
Owen

Great Tit?

Great Tit?

Could well be. If it's a call I'm unfamiliar with from a species I am familiar with that has to be the best candidate.

Not at dusk, Great Tit would have roosted by then.....haven't a clue apart from sounds man made to me.

Is it a bird at all ?

Is it a bird at all ?

Starting to think it's not, could be something to do with the camera. I've asked quite a few very knowledgeable colleagues now and no one has any idea. It's from the Loch of the Lowes Osprey webcam by the way and has repeated again today at about 10am apparently. I didn't mention it originally on the off chance it turned out to be something something rare so the reserve staff would have the choice whether to spread the news.

Thanks for the replies all

Come what may, it sounds nothing like a Great Tit (and yes, I do know what Bill Oddie said ...)
