Hi all
 
Can anyone help me identify a bird with a deepish and loud call that sounds like 'ooo-wee' (apologies in advance for bad interpretations) and is repeated over and over, sometimes ascending in pitch and increasing in speed?
 
I'm sorry that I can't identify the colour or shape of the bird that the call is coming from - it was very well hidden in a very tall pine and too high up for me to see.
 
I'm at work at the moment so don't have either binoculars or a field book to reference.
 
Hope you can help
 
Erin
