Chirp chirp chirp chirp chrip chirp.

[Huntsman]

There's a bird outside, I'd like to know what it is.

Makes a chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.

Usually about 6 chirps in a row.

High pitched, bit like a squeeking hinge, but a short single note.

No melody or tune, just the one note.

Sounds like a smallish bird (if that's not a daft thing to say).

Any idea?

Tit

Chaffinch ?

I had a look on youtube, not a chaffinch or tit from wha I can hear.

Its just one note, very repetitive.

Sparrow or Great tit

I've just been going through the birdsongs of the common garden birds on the RSPB website and came up with Tree Sparrow as the most likely culprit

Or what about a Siskin?

Reply of the century.

None of those.

But thanks for trying.

Its annoying, high pitched squeek, more like a shingle note than a chord. Bit like a squeeking gate.

Thanks, but no cigar.

I'm going to try and record it tomorrow.

Has your neighbour an irritating alarm clock ??

[Dislip2001]

That's close, very close, but I'm not convinced, it was at 5.30 this morning, I was snoring, Mrs H listened to it. Its always very early.

[Huntsman]

Captured it on my phone this morning.

What do the PH collective think?

[digger the goat]

Its a Great Tit

Yep definitely. We've got one of the buggers doing the same at the moment too. Slightly more irritating than the blue tit and slightly less irritating than the male sparrow who sits on the wire outside the bedroom and has bugger all sense of rhythm - loud, randomly timed individual shrieks. Little git!
