Stock Dove or something else? - Leicestershire (1 Viewer)

Hi all,
I was out on the farm on my daily stroll and passing through a small copse when I heard this odd sound. The closest thing I can liken it too is a stock dove. Any other suggestions appreciated.

Dunno. It's not the standard stock dove song.

Dunno. It's not the standard stock dove song.

That is what confused me but it’s not similar to anything else as well

I'd call this a Stock Dove, yes.

The call in the background sounds pretty normal for a Stock Dove, IMO.

Regular stock dove song is a repeated two-note phrase. This is just one note repeated.

It sounds like many other Stock Doves I've heard from a distance. Also, given the faint recording, it could just be that the distance from the recorder caused the second, weaker syllable to be rendered almost inaudible. Same thing happens with Eagle Owl, for example.

I can hear two notes, although I have to turn it up quite loud to do so. It sounds okay for Stock Dove to me.

Thanks for all the replies, I've listened to a few stock dove recordings and some of them do sound very similar, so i think this is what it is

A slightly aberrant Stock Dove for me too.
