Bird squawking

Can you help identify this bird, I haven’t seen it only heard it and it’s driving me insane, I’m working from home at the moment and this bird does not let up, it squawks all day!  I have a suspicion that it isn’t a wild bird because the sound seems to be coming from the same place each day, I have to listen to music to drown it out, does anyone know what it is?

  • The wind noise is making it a bit difficult to hear. From what I can make out it sounds like the so called "rain call" of the Common Chaffinch. They can keep it up for hours and can be quite irritating

    Does this sound anything like it?

  • Yes, that's classic Chaffinch "rain song" and matches Wendy's spot on in my opinion.
