Message: <blockquote data-quote="Torchepot" data-source="post: 3626912" data-attributes="member: 123265">Thanks Simon, Nutty and PhilHere's the original recording with no filters, noise reduction etc. It's a lot fainter but sounds less like a great tit to me.The second recording made me think of barn owl but I couldn't find anything quite like it on xeno-canto (which may not mean too much as I'm recording lots of weird tawny owl calls which don't match anything on there either). Haven't see or heard barn owl here for nearly ten years - since our former mayor "tidied up" the nest site!I've never heard scops here (but quite familiar with the call) what puzzles me is that normally I'm used to hearing them call monotonously for ages - with just a single call it makes me wonder - do they call in flight?Last night got this weird call - at first I thought Mallard but now I'm thinking corvid?</blockquote>
