Can anyone help identify this bird song recorded in our garden. It has been here over a week.

Hi Julie,
As strange as this may be it sounds like a Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), a type of new world quail native to North America. Where abouts do you live in the UK or perhaps you live in the USA.
I believe that they have been imported to Europe presumably as game birds. This recording was made in Slovenia.

Am I on the right track or is it back to the drawing board?
