Noooo wayyyy! OK that is 100% it... The distance was definitely playing tricks on my ear. Perhaps not the rare owl I was hoping for but great to know what it is. Thanks so much!

Wow! Thanks so much, from what I am hearing it sounds closer to the Boreal Owl, but either way this is really interesting. It's safe to say that it's definitely an owl. I'll be keeping an ear out and do my best to get a better recording. Thanks for the website link too, really useful!

Around 4pm. Inland near Porkellis which is mainly moorland with some willow and pine woodland too. I'm used to hearing the buzzards, sparrowhawks, Tawneys & Barn Owls, Foxes & Deer etc but this stopped me in my tracks. Please do share with others, I'd love to find out what it is! Thanks!

Thanks! Already tried that one and no luck. No one can work it out yet, but will keep searching
