| | | Birdsong/call?
During the summer at work (which is quite green and wooded nearby) I frequently heard a bird song along the lines of (and please excuse this);
wee ooo wee ooo wee ooo wee ooo wee ooo wee oo
Which was quite rapid and relatively "squeaky".
Yesterday I heard it from the house over the road, who's garden has bigish trees (mixed).
I'm stumped as to what is is as most of the garden birds calls I recognise? |

my thoughts would be great tit or coal tit, certainly coal tit always sounds like 'we do, we do, we do' to me... I think there's birdsong mp3s on the rspb's website if that helps?

Great Tits have a huge range of calls.

Find the species and click on the listen button on the rspb site or look on xeno canto - Europe |

Well, it's neither a Coal or a Great Tit after listening to their song. |

Well, I've listened to the lot and that particular call isn't there.
The closest I can put it to is a Treecreaper!
Stumped! |

The song I heard sounded as though it came from a small bird and went up-down-up-down.
Wee=up and Ooo=down.
wee-ooo-wee-ooo-wee-ooo in a longish continuous call.
I'm very puzzled with this as I know just about all garden bird song. | | | |
