im hearing an unusual bird call at night. I live in a rural village in Suffolk which is surrounded by farmland and the A14 is near by. The bird call is a bit like a mechanical sheep. Now when looking up information on google about this bird call, most say it’s a snipe, which I understand to be a wetland bird, not one to really hang around farmland or on top of roofs. If anyone can suggest what else it could be, I’d appreciate it. I don’t think I’d be able to record it as the sound is quite high up, but it is very regular. Thanks for the help.
Hi Arwen, sorry no one has replied but I think we are going to be struggling without a recording of some sort. I must admit I don't know what a "mechanical" sheep sounds like. Any further information you can supply would be helpful. For instance, does the bird sound if it's flying about or is it coming from one place?
