Hello
Can anyone help me identify this bird, its driving me around the bend. If it helps we are in a small town in Sussex backing onto Woodland with a brook running through it. You can hear the distinctive two syllable whistle at 11 seconds and 22 seconds.
Thanks in advance!
Chris
Hi Chris
Strange as it may seem but it sounds like a Northern Bobwhite which is of course an American bird. You can listen to the call on the preceding link to see if you think it matches what you are hearing.
I think I read somewhere that they are sometimes kept as pets here in the UK. Do you know of anyone locally who might do that?
