| | | ID night bird please
For the last few nights I have heard a bird calling and also seen it fly from tree to tree, but too dark to see any detail.
The birds call is as close as can be written phonetically.......
......."Kew wit"
'Kew' as in in the London Gardens
'wit' as in intellectual humour. |

The 'kee wick' is the contact call between males and females, the 'woo hoo' is the male establishing his territory. |
