Strange Bird

[Chipchopper]

Help with ID please.
I heard the sound of a bird in my garden that was unfamiliar to me.
I looked up at the sky and saw a black, crow sized bird that made a sound unlike any I'd heard before.
The best I can do at describing it is a turkey-like call.

Any ideas, folks ?

gobble-gobble ?

PS - crows are very good mimics.

[Chipchopper]

Thanks, that's a possibility

Jackdaw? Brilliant mimics.

There's a YouTube video for everything, it seems!

So sorry that answers have not been very enlightening.
I hope responses are more forthcoming.

Sorry I don't have anything more informative to offer.

^^ I hope you all consider yourself told off.

Hi all, I don't think it was a jackdaw, it seemed bigger than that anyway. I noted it had a long tail, similar to a magpie, but looked more carrion crow size.
A crow that lived near a turkey form, seems the best answer so far!

I've looked at a few videos and I think what I saw was a passing raven. It was the tail shape the really clinched it.

I once dated a strange bird but that's for a different thread :-))

Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” :-)

That will be a raven. Very large black bird, like a carrion crow,

Where in the UK are you? likely to be a raven if you are in the West its call sounds like a deep Kronk

[Chipchopper]

That's it, just like Marge Simpson!

Could be a Bombay duck.
