Hi all!
I am in dire need of some expert assistance, I have moved to a fabulously remote cottage, and the birds are out in force. Every day I am listening to a bird I have never heard before, and I have no idea how to start to identify it! Its call resembles to sound of a lorry reversing! The low pitched squawking kind, not the high pitched beep. Its not a Barn Owl, or any kind of Owl I don't think, and I hear it most of the day! Any ideas?!
Claire.
Thanks for the feedback, Claire. It's always good to know what it was even if we were unable to help. I must admit I wouldn't have guessed never having heard a truck make a reversing call like a Pheasant. LOL

Jill, it's not recommended that you lure birds out by playing their calls during the breeding season. It can cause them distress when they need their energy for other things.
