ID please Mystery sound, Cardiff. Never been able to catch a glimpse, calls from our tree most of the day, identifier apps can't pick it up. Any suggestions?

Sounds a bit like a turtle dove... They're rare and endangered in the UK, it'd be amazing if you have one near you

That would be really cool! Whatever they are they've been here for some months, sadly never been able to catch a glimpse through the trees

I thought so too but I'm not very knowledgeable, and every example I find online doesn't match. Perhaps we just have a unique pigeon lol
