Managed to get a recording of my mystery bird Gateshead- please can anyone idenrify- must have listened to hundreds of recordings without a match5516.Bird.m4a
It's incredibly faint even with my speakers on full volume. Towards the end of the clip I can hear a call which sounds a bit like a Lapwing but I'm by no means confident. Are there open fields nearby? Here's a recording of a Lapwing.

Anything like what you are hearing?

I'm pleased you managed to get your answer.
For info, the recording could easily have been added to the original thread, and for those curious, the link to the original thread is below.
