We live in a residential area, where I am gradually managing to encourage birds to our garden. There are various trees in the neigbourhood and we attract the following birds; wren, robin, blue tit, great tit, coal tit, sparrow, starling, blackbird, collared dove, goldfinch, but which of these, if any, has a repetitive call which sounds like a squeaky bike pump?
Yours in Nature, Alba
