Hello,

I am currently watching the Ryder Cup, which is being played in Wales. While watching, there is a bird calling constantly in the background. It has sort of a one......twothreefour.. repeating sound. It sounds like a small bird. I have checked many of Britian's small birds. Surely, someone out there is listening to the broadcast, hearing the bird and can help me identify it.
Thanks,
Phil

Did you try Chaffinch?

Can't hear anything over the drumming of the rain....

Will listen out when play restarts, but when I played the course last year I heard Chiffchaff, Sedge Warbler, Linnet, and Reed Bunting calling, IIRC.

When this subject has come up before it's been clear that the producers often dub bird sound onto the braodcast, sometimes inappropriately (Dartford Warbler at the K Club) So it is isn't even necessarily a British bird if you're watching a US broadcaster.

It's usually worth putting a bet each way on Great Tit...

Great Tit
Blue Tit
Robin

all probabilities.
Great Tit heard on Ryder Cup Intro programme.

Hi Graham,

It's amazing how often Bee-eater is heard on the tele, I even heard one on the BBC news on some farm in the midlands sometime last year. It does make you wonder which are genuine & which are dubbed.

Cheers, Neil.
