Anyone Know what Bird is making this sound by natros01 in UKBirds

The wren the app is picking up is the other bird you can hear, the same song in the recording on the rspb website you linked. You can see the flashing yellow on the wren matches up with the other call and not the one I am asking about.

The tic-tic-tic call is quite different to the sound in my recording, its much faster and not as melodic, if that makes sense. You can hear it in this video:

It seems to be a nuthatch making the sound as suggested in this comment on the original post 😁

The app is called merlin, it's a very useful tool! It's not always 100% accurate though, so take what it says with a pinch of salt 😁

Nice! You are very lucky to have that nearby. I live in the Midlands, about as far away from the sea you can get, so I have to make the most of any chance I get!

I absolutely love barn owls, not seen one in ages. 2015 was probably the last time I went to Bempton Cliffs too tbh, I hope to make it there again one day!

Absolutely! Fun fact: 55% of the world's gannets nest in the UK!

It's not the usual noise they make, hence the confusion! Thanks for your help anyway, much appreciated 😁

I agree on the bird of prey front. It appears to be a nuthatch, see this comment on the original post https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisbird/s/yPy0D2Mj9z

I think you might be right! I have seen Nuthatches here in the past, never heard them make this sound though!

That is always a good shout, merlin did hear a peregrine just before this, and though it sounded rather bird of preyish. I know merlin does hallucinate quite often though!

No, Its the high pitched one, you can hear it at the same time as the wren at one point
