I'm in the Midlands not near a river so not a wader or shore bird. It's dark and still outside.

Three short calls, no pause.  Yup yup yup.  Repeated after 30 seconds, and again.

Not high pitched but not a deep boom. 

My bird identification app couldn't pick it up.

Any ideas?

Cormorant?

Question Author

Not near any body of water large enough to attract cormorants, sadly. I know cormorants are on some canals but not on my local ones.

You don't say what your app is. Have you tried Merlin Bird ID ?

Badger?

Fieldfare  maybe, some have already arrived

Question Author

It is Merlin that I use, I've found it reliable.

Definitely not a badger and sadly not a fieldfare, always delighted to see them return.

Thanks for the suggestions, always appreciated.
