Or lapwing? Were they black and white? Kiting about?

Sounds like lapwing to me! But what about snipe drumming (a bit early in the year tbh).

The webpage where I listened to the plover had an option to listen to other birds and I'd seen snipes and didn't know what they sounded like. They sound like Star Trek. :-)

It was really really distinct. Definitely that sound.

They sound like those big flexi tubes we whirled round our heads as kids

Spooky if heard around dark, but magical
