Bird ID from audio - Tunstall, Kent - 28/08/23 (1 Viewer)

[KC Wadham]

Hey!

I’m new here & wondered if I could get some help identifying a bird.

We went for a walk this morning around Tunstall, Sittingbourne & heard this bird, chirping away quite close to us along the path. It’s enclosed with trees, farmers fields one side & orchards the other.

Of course when I recorded it, it started to go quiet! There’s two chirps it makes in the video but the original is too big to upload, so I’ve cropped the video to the clearest sound. I was hoping someone would have an idea.

Thanks for any help!!

KC

The file downloads to my phone, not something I'm happy with as no choice is given. Deleted & not listened to.

Ah, that’s strange! When I open it, a new tab opens up to be able to play it.
Any idea how to upload it so it doesn’t download?

Afraid not, I've never uploaded a sound file.

Sounds a bit little owly.

Think that might be your phone settings. Seems like a standard .mov file … playing fine without downloading for me.

Could be then. I have no idea how to fix it though 🤔

Hope you don't mind KC but I've converted your file to an mp3 and increased the volume to see if that helps with ID - though Little Owl has already been suggested.

That’s great - thanks!😊

Hello.

When my youngest was at Cubs, a couple of years ago now, at the Tunstall village hall I had a Little Owl around the old orchards/ infants school.

I tend bird around the Rodmersham/ Cromer Wood area along with Milton Crek CP.

Regards

Hi Stuart!

That’s so cool!
Having to drive around the area myself in the early mornings, I’ve seen an owl on a couple of occasions and due to its size, I’ve assumed they’re Little Owls. It’s interesting that they’ve been suggested a couple times on this thread too.

I do enjoy a wander round Rodmersham / Cromers Wood so will definitely keep a look out in those locations too.

Thank you for your reply!!😊
