Depends where and when in se England. On the coast you might hear Curlews on
migration in spring or autumn, you might hear breeding Lapwings up on the
Downs (ie hills), if they still breed there.
However I would guess the most lonely sounding bird would be the Eurasian
Stone-Curlew, which probably doesn't breed anywhere in se England any more,
other than the Breckland (nw Suffolk, sw Norfolk).
Corn Buntings have a sad little jangly song, but they have declined too.
Extinction, extinction.

My daughter asked this question which I can't answer, Anyone know?
My guess is either a Curlew or a Lapwing?
It is needed for a Film (which one Karen?).

Hello Dad,
Quick question. Do you know a bird in South East England that is considered
'lonely' or sounds lonely.
for a track lay in a film. If they get it wrong the twitchers get very
peeved.
