I was out running near Castle Naze the other day, didn't have my glasses so couldn't see it clearly - it had a very distinctive call, a series of whistles at different pitches that sounded a lot like a radio being tuned. Thought it might have been a lapwing, as I saw a few of those around.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Andrew.

I can't really help you but if you have any suspicions as to what it could be, this website has lots of recordings of bird songs, hope that helps: http://www.the-birds.net/

skylark was my first thought. Try Vaughan Williams for a proper version (the Lark Ascending)

or this

A curlew has a distinctive whistling call with notes which change in pitch, a bit like tuning past a radio station. If you take a listen to a lapwing and it doesn't sound right then you could try curlew.
In reply to toad:

Yep, lapwing certainly. Cheers.
