Hopefully this works! 

I have heard this sound in an area of woodland in High Woods country park, Colchester throughout 2023 most days and then again this week. Someone has said it sounds electronic and is not a bird call but the location varies across the woodland patch when I hear it.  Merlin bird call identification app showed no results. I would love to know what it is please 

I would say its a crow as I have one that makes similar noises but I am no expert am afraid.
Perhaps best wait for others in the know ;-)

Thank you Linda. There are many carrion crows in the location so you may well be correct! Perhaps it’s one that has learnt to mimic a sound it has heard or it is one with a more distinct call. Either way I enjoy listening out for it.

Jay or magpie make squawking calls similar to that, but I wouldn't confidently suggest either!
