I’ve been hearing this “ribbeting” sound from various trees around my garden, I don’t think it’s anything rare but I’m not sure what it is!
I live in South Wales, so along with the typical garden birds (tits, sparrows, finches etc), I also get plenty of Nuthatches, Woodpeckers, Dippers in the river behind my house, Kites (pretty sure they’re not the culprit!) and a pair of Mandarin Ducks that have recently appeared.
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
This is a duplicate thread, can I suggest using the other one (link below), as that has more replies?
