had a walk in the valley near Salem this afternoon and heard an unusual call - "tuuu tuuu tuuu tuuu" - repeated monotously every few seconds for several minutes. There may also have been a very subtle "pi" at the beginning of each note. I've come to the conclusion that this may have been a willow tit. Fortunately (or otherwise) I never saw the bird because that would have made it even more confusing!
I believe we may have a willow tit expert in our contributors.....what does
Ian think of this?
