For a couple of days, we have heard this bird. I guess it might be an owl, but I'm not sure. The mating season is beginning or has begun, and in our small village we have a very rare appearance of the Little Owl (Athene Noctua) which I have had the pleasure and joy to watch from my kitchen window throughout the winter season. I know the call of the Little Owl very well, but it might be that the mating call is different. I know there will someone in this forum who will be able to identify this bird:

I have very good audio equipment, but I had to use all the gain possible to catch this call, so noise is of course very high, sorry for that.
