Hello!
I recorded this sound in the Highlands in September. Can anyone help me identify it?!Thank you!

I've just run it by Merlin, it hadn't a clue nor me
Sorry, me neither!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Just tried Birdnet bird ID, it says Dog!!!!
Hahaha! I did wonder if it's even a bird, cos it's such a strange sound!
It sounds to me like one of the many sounds a raven makes; I'm lucky enough to have several pairs of them I frequently see/hear nearby and they often make a similar sound
Ah that’s a good suggestion, thank you! I think that could be it. I have crows around me, and one of them makes a very particular strange sound that my Merlin app never recognises as a crow. The sound was always a mystery to me til one day I saw the crow at the right moment and was able to connect the sound. Corvids are fascinating!
Nice one Adam, they do have a varied vocabulary and there is a "caw" in there
