Squeaking bird at night stoke on Trent Staffordshire (2 Viewers)

[VillaRoyale]

Hi there,

My first post 🙂 I came across this site when I was searching the internet to try and identify what is making the noise at night!
I only hear it at night usually around 10-11pm (but maybe just because it is quiet then). We have an owl that I can hear too but not sure what is making this noise, I’m intrigued! I’ve uploaded a video with the sound but there is a lot of static, hopefully you can hear enough to help.

I hear nothing and just for folk to know, these files download to your computer.

It's best to load media that is playable here, what you have posted, downloads to a computer, automatically. With respect, nobody knows you here and the files could contain anything.

Without hearing them I would guess at a species of owl. Whilst waiting for an answer try listening to some recordings on xeno-canto.org starting with juvenile Tawny Owl.

'Sqeaking' would suggest Long-eared Pat?

Like I said it’s just videos recorded on my iPhone would have no idea how to even change to a different media type to upload as anything else. Just curious about a bird I heard that’s all.

ah fab thank you! Googled it and it’s a male and female tawny owl. Thank you for the helpful advice

Certainly would hope so but I have heard a similar call amongst our local Tawnies over the years. Sadly no evidence of breeding owls in or around our village this year. Hope its not too hot out there at the moment.

You can convert your files using a free online converter (just type: 'convert mov to mp3/wav/...', in your browser).

One suspects juvenile Tawny Owl. It is the right time of year. I read somewhere the sound of the juvenile Tawny Owl is one of the loudest sounds any birds make in Europe.

I did a better recording last night (hope the file type is ok!).
