What late night bird call is this?

Hi,

This bird call has been going on for half an hour and shows no sign of stopping. I've searched many bird call sites but no joy, can someone please advise as to what they think this is? I live in rural Norfolk and this is coming from outside my house. 

I hope the link works, apologies if it doesn't. You'll need to turn the volume up.

  • Hi Riely, it sounds a bit "owl" like although I can't be sure. I found this recording of a Tawny Owl alarm calling on the xeno-canto website which is somewhat similar to your recording. What do you think?

  • Hi Teejay,

    I definitely heard that earlier in the night so sounds like it's definitely a tawny owl. How exciting!! Thank you.
