Nocturnal bird call, Devon UK (1 Viewer)

[Twibble]

Heard by bat recorders in Devon this week.

Hope the sound file works.

Cheers.

 

[Bowlander]

Got me stumped. Nuthatch?

 

[KenM]

Sounds..almost like a ''very pure'' Song Thrush that hasn't been told..that it's song consists of a more complex arrangement, that is normally uttered in triplicate.

Don't think it is a demented ST, as I believe the single note is purer?...whatever it is..I believe I can detect some accoustics?

cheers

 

[Bowlander]

Was it recorded in woodland?

 

[AlfArbuthnot]

Sounds quite like a Teal song.

 

[jpoyner]

Greenfinch? They make a few odd calls, though never heard one at night!

 

[Twibble]

Thanks for the replies so far, I will ascertain which habitat the recorders were in and report back...

 

[KGS]

I believe it is an Ospery

 

[Seatallen]

I've been thinking about this and wonder if it might actually have been a fox? They can make some strangely bird-like sounds.

This has been bugging me, as as soon as I heard the recording I said to myself 'I know that..'. Cut to a woodland walk and what do I hear? That very same call. The guilty party?
Great Tit.

Presumably this recording was made with a bat detector? It sounds just like the 'delayed' recording of a bat when recorded with a bat detector.

Could be onto something there, the 'pitchoo' did seem familiar.

That's the one! Glad the mystery is now solved. Slightly concerned that the 'surveyors' didn't know that!

So glad the mystery is solved!
