Hello

I'm new here ..................

We have been woken up the last few mornings by a strange sound.........

It sounds like an alarm clock, but seems to be at different places in the
garden. I'm assuming its a bird.

The sound is 4 high pitched tones of about one second each, followed by
about 3 seconds silence, then it starts again.

Anyone got any idea what it might be ??

It's not, by any chance, your smoke alarm, indicating the battery needs
replacing?

Or, perhaps, a Starling immitating the noise a smoke alarm makes when
the battery needs replacing ......
