i was being somewhat tongue in cheek, after the 'serin' tbh lol but of the two speices it fits scops better, tho prob something totally different, you know calls and descriptions etc
Seems slightly presumptuous to guess (as if I'd know); but it took me ages (and much "head-scratching") to realise that Ravens have an incredible vocal range, some of their calls perhaps matching your description.
Thanks for that everybody. Unfortunately not a Scops. The style of the call is very similar, the right sort of pitch and length of note and time between them, however the note is fuller. probably quite a lot louder, and from the clip that you directed me to, probablycarries further.
It has not called since my original post.
Thanks again anyway
