No pic I'm afraid. (that's the twist)
How do you go about trying to identify a bird solely from it's call (or at least getting some idea what it is?)
I can't imagine how I am supposed to explain the sound.
All i can say is it is very loud, and sounds like a repetition of somebody moving a gate with a rusty hinge back and forth.
Not that it necessarily sounds like the hinge, but the repetition of the two different sounds is reminiscent of the sort of two slightly different noises you get when you go one way then the other with the hinge.
I saw a chaffinch in a tree the other day singing its heart out and it was very similar to that, but not quite there. I need louder.
