| | | What bird call is this please?
Hello, first time here for me. I often hear a bird in our woods that I have not managed to see and identify. It is a daytime bird, and I live just outside Bracknell in Berkshire.
Sorry the recording is quite faint, I made it on my phone, but the bird is on it several times, probably most clearly at 52 seconds.
It never seems to get a reply from a mate. birdsong.mpg - YouTube
Thanks, Steve! |

Possible rook in the distance.

Thanks, Steve! | I'd say it's either a carrion crow or a raven, both can make similar calls, and both can be heard in this recording (raven can be heard calling twice faintly around 48-49 seconds).

That sounds like a Raven to me. It's deep and harsh, exactly the sound I heard when we saw a Raven near Slimbridge.

The call I think you asking about is a raven its feint and distant but the unmistakable call of a raven  MIKE

The other bird heard calling is a carrion crow rather than a rook (at 9 and 43 secs). I can also here a robin and possibly a blackbird 'seep'-ing near the end.

Raven, with Carrion crow at 44 secs. Didn't realise they'd spread so far east! | | | |
