I regularly hear this call during the daytime in our garden. It always comes from the top of a tall fir tree.
Yesterday at dusk I saw a barn owl close to the tree, however, I didn't think barn owls made this noise.
Location is rural Somerset on the edge of farmland.
You may need to turn the volume up loud to hear it.
Thanks!

Hi Tony,
I attach a longer version - ignore the bit when my daughter speaks! (that's why I cut it!).
Thanks
Laura
Thanks for the longer clip, Laura, but I'm afraid I'm none the wiser. It almost sounds like a human imitating a bird call.
