More of a beep....

Not much to look at here,  in fact totally dark as there wasn't a moon last night, but this is what we are listening to as we fall asleep.

More of a beep than a too-whit  too-whoo!

When we first came here and heard this, we thought it was one of our mobiles needing to be charged up but having consulted the bird book, we think it's a Scops owl as it's call is described as  "monotonous and repeated"  usually heard at night.  Last night there was at least 1 other owl calling back and having listened to this again,  you can just about hear the other one in between our louder owl's beeps.
