Bird Call ID Please

[suziet]

Hi

Sorry if this is vague - its the best way I can describe it - I live in East Yorkshire and always hear a call

It sounds like seeeeep - and it lasts about 2 seconds and is the only call it appears to make - any ideas please xx

If I recorded bird song would you also be able to identify?

Thank for your help again xx

Really high pitched? Probably a blackbird contact call.

Hi Theresa - I would say more middle tone - I thought it was some kind of tit but I will google black bird call and come back to you

Thank you for the reply honey

Could be a Greenfinch.

Have a listen to the sound labelled "Call" on this webpage

The greenfinch - Wildlife Garden

are you in the countryside or in woods, longtail tits make a similar call to which you have described, rossy.

Hi Dave & Rossy

I live in a city - but my back garden opens onto acres of farmland and woodland - and we do get Greenfinches & Long Tailed Tit - to be honest I said to my OH I wonder if its a long tailed tit -

Thanks for the link I shall listen to it later as my OH has football on the surround sound lol xx

now i dont know if you like mice, but as your near farmland its a possibility. also blue tits do a high pitched call, good luck. rossy.

Several species of songbird use a 'seep' alarm call, is the sound you hear anything like this robin:
