Hi everyone and many thanks for the welcome and all those speedy responses!
The female warbling maybe the answer..... I shall try to find a bird song site on line.
No, definately not a curlew; one of my most favourite calls on the moors.
Maybe I shall be hearing didgery-doos (sp) next!
A more introductory post will be forthcoming with a few observations on the contrasts between wildlife here in France and the UK.

A warm welcome to WAB Vivien .... and possibly Rolf  .
I can not help you with your mystery sound but as far as I am aware Rolf is not currently on tour in Charente .
I look forward to hearing more from you. The contrasts between UK and French wildlife would I am sure be very interesting.

| | | Okay.... I will make a final attempt to describe this cuckoo associated noise.
No, forget the wobbleboard... and it's not the female cuckoo.
Think more in terms of trying to whistle. So it sounds very, very soft, starting low and rising rapidly through 5 notes; more like the noise you can make by blowing over the top of an empty bottle but not so resonating.
I've even started to think that it could be the noise of the cuckoo's wings as I only hear it when the cuckoo is really close.
Anyway, thank you everyone for your interest; if and when I make a positive identification you will all be the first to know! | | | |
