Nightime recordings - 23rd April 2021 - Don't know! Help!!

[YvonneB]

Several that I don't know.

1. Hmmm, I don't know I thought it sounded kind of Hooded Crow but I really don't know - the sonogram is nothing like I've seen on Xeno Canto. Tufted Duck (cheers Andrew)

2. I did wonder if this was Whimbrel Oystercatcher looks most likely.

3. This is very much like part of the sonogram of @Roger Auger's mystery bird that he had last night. This call was repeated several times over about 10 minutes. I did wonder if it was Water Rail? Perhaps it's not even a bird?

4. Sounds like Blackbird alarm call.

Hi Yvonne,

Is 1 not a tufted duck? Think 2 might be right and struggling with 3&4.

cheers, Andrew

Hi @Andrew yes, I believe you're right about Tufted Duck! Thanks Funnily enough Ian did say maybe it's a duck

This is the odd set of calls Yvonne referred to that I recorded on 21/4/21 at 23:29 and on 22/4/21 at 01:09 & 03:07.
The few people who have offered something lean towards Water Rail. Any advice/help appreciated.
