Can anyone help id the bird from my description?
Unfortunately I don't have a recording but I heard a bird call the other day and the only way I can describe it is it was like 2 stones being struck together.
I heard it on Friday if that helps at all
Regards

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
It isn't always easy to grab a recording, I've been there too many times myself, especially if you've a camera in hand. One of the problems with identifying a bird call is the tempo along with the sound
If your camera is able to take video, even if you just get footage of the trees, shrubs, footpath (I've done that a good few times, video the path just to get the audio) or whatever, so long as the sound is clear enough, that would help for an ID.
