Dear Suzanne, John and Matthieu,
Thanks for your comments and encouragement.
John: chickadees go under a different family name this side of the
Atlantic (one that certain spam filters take out !) and your bird is
not in Europe. But of that family (Paridae) our Great Tit is one that I
am still open minded about for my mystery as it always seems determined
to confuse us !
Matthieu: you could be right about Greenfinch, although I have never
heard them do this before, but I can see where you are coming from. My
other recordings of the Greenfinch "buzz" call differ from the "cheer"
componant in my mystery by being an ascending "buzz" note of slightly
lower frequency. Thanks for the pointer I willl continue to chase it
down !
