Thank you - it was such a strong sound among the other bird noises, I thought it would be easy to identify on xeno-canto. But there seems to be a huge variation in its songs. Interestingly, the one recording that sounded most like mine was made a few miles away in Oxfordshire - does this suggest that birds have regional accents or dialects?
