Peregrine? -- Cottbus, Germany (also audio of unknown bird) (1 Viewer)

[Henry_Flower]

Hello,
Can anyone ID this bird of prey, on city outskirts today? Flying quite high unfortunately, so not very clear. Our best guess is a peregrine, but we don't see them often enough to be sure.



As a bonus question, we have an audio recording of a separate bird today (attached). It wasn't visible; I suspect it will be something very ordinary, but we're curious!

Thanks for any help you can give.

Peregrine is correct

Without certainty, the recording sounds like a young bird of prey calling---perhaps also peregrine. My doubts come because they're usually more frenetic and insistent than this

The Audio sounds like one of those very quiet early spring songs of Great Tit, sometimes referred to as 'subsong'. Compare here: XC617530 Great Tit (Parus major)
