We have had no sign or ravens or merlins in the immediate vicinity=2C so I =

Thanks to all=2C

The cries and their rhythm are similar to ospreys'=2C but a little more clo=

Rather loud for young calling to their parents unless they are large birds.
Any clues from this vague description? Could it be raccoons?
Neighbourhood is central Dartmouth near Sullivan's pond.
