What is the bird that sounds like a rusty gate or a tool going back and forth? its been singing the last hour, but we can't see it!

I will be keen to know the answer as I don't have any idea!.....
I notice that the odds are very good for the Great Tit....
It would be great if you can ID it from one of the many on-line sites which give you examples of different bird song to listen to. I wait with baited breath for the correct answer.....
Hi-
most likely is a Great Tit singing, it could also possibly be a Bullfinch. If it was July and calling at night I'd say possibly a young Long eared Owl

No to the actual squeaky gate! Probably a great tit!
Thanks Woodpecker, the website was very helpful. I hadn't discovered before they did the birdsounds, and we think it was a great tit.
