I had to drag the parcs guy out of his house to listen to our Scops - first record here - he wouldn't believe it wasn't the toad and even took me to a pond where the toads were - incredibly close call. Also had some birders in the area who claimed Scops only to retreat to toad after two nights of dragging everyone out of bed...I can only add that the female has a higher pitched call than the male - might be worth investigating on xeno.If you can be sure that the 'noise' has been moving around as only a bird can then its got to be Scops!</blockquote>
