Re: Birds
I thought I was going mad, slightly madder anyway.I keep hearing a bird in the field nextdoor singing away, every now and then it makes the sound of a telephone ringing!
Well, it's not me, my visitors have heard it too! Even my wasband admits it's a bird, he usually takes every opportunity to ridicule me!
What can it be?
It sounds like a blackbird, I can't see it though and I thought only jackdaws mimicked.
I'm going to try to record it, not sure how I could post it though for you to hear

Re: Birds
We do have a couple of magpies that visit.The phone noise seems to be part of a song which sounds like a blackbird's. There's a long bit it sings first, then the "phone" bit, then a short bit. Usually the same tune.
I'm going to try to film or record it this afternoon.
