We've been having a somewhat rowdy nocturnal visitor to our garden recently. Based on the time of the visits, my guess is that it's a nightingale, but having listened to the recording on the RSPB site, I'm not totally convinced. Is there anything that sounds similar that it could be instead?
We also have tawny owls - probably a family group. I hear them pretty much every night but have never seen them. Very distinctive sound - even I can easily recognise it.
I suspect we also have other types of owls - listening to the recordings on the RSPB site, I wonder if we might have short-eared owls. Is that likely in East Kent?
I shall have to go out one night and make some recordings.
