hi i;ve been struggling to work out what this bird is - i've been regularly hearing it in Leicester for the past 3 years
many thanks for any suggestions
I managed to see it (the first time i've actually spotted it!)
can anyone tell me what it is?
many thanks
Looks like a Crow to me but am not familiar with their sounds!

Am with you Wendy..Crow
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Pardon my ignorance but can a crow make that call/sound then? - is it imitating another bird or similar? or is this an alternatve call somehow?
Yes I have had one last year that kept making that same sound..no idea why
I have read on several sites via google that they are very intelligent birds who are well able to mimic other birds!
It's a little conversation, contact call
