Hoping someone can ID this bird call!

Recorded in rural South Wales, UK, last September, nobody I’ve played it to can tell what it is (and Merlin didn’t know either)

This is correct
It sounded nothing like a cat to me, honestly. It was more like a squawk in real life, with a consistent high pitched ending sound which barely comes across in the recording, I’ve never heard a cat make a sound like that
All three of my cats sound exactly like that. Especially when the food bowl is empty.
Same here
If you’ve got a recording of the sound I’ll gladly compare 😁 seems like I’m outnumbered here so I’ll disappointedly concede that it’s a cat
Was definitely going to help you with this, but cat has become 16 years old and has lost a lot of weight, is probably in his last year of life. Other cat sometimes makes noises that seem to come from star wars, really no joke.
