What bird makes a quick fire yapping noise...

What bird makes a quick fire yapping or whooping noise? It’s a high pitched call in quick succession a bit like a small dog yapping. I’ve heard it regularly over last few days with approx 3-7 yaps/whoops each time.

Anyone know?

Sounds quite similar to first part alright but there’s not the second longer bit. Probably more high pitched than first part.

Jays make a harsh call, it's sort of a single note but often repeated quickly, and their numbers seem (to me) to be on the increase and they appear less 'shyer' than i remember.....

Nope, not a Jay or a Stonechat.

Looks like it was a crow!

5 of them overhead today chasing each other and one of them was very clearly making a yapping noise.

Were they Ravens, they have quite a wide repertoire and would be riding the thermals on bright sunny days.....

The diversity of bird song ! When I was first in the Leitrim mountains I was intrigued by a very odd song. Like a fishing reel... I emailed one of the bird groups; a grasshopper warbler. It also never seemed to pause for breath.

There's an app called bird up which you can use to help identify bird song and sounds.

Does it work well? Might give it a try. I tried one for flowers (name I can't remember), ended up deleting it as it was constantly "searching".

Yep, I even bought the upgrade. Needs an internet connection though but gives realtime results as you record.

Brilliant, just installed it there, looking forward to trying it out!

The one I use for flowers (and all plants) is PictureThis which I’ve found very good.

I found that one was doing the searching thing all the time on me so I tried another called Seek and it works much better. Does insects, fungi plants and animals too.
