A cuckoo. Note how he starts hesitantly and gets into his stride. Some echo (possibly off walls of nearby buildings?) Also faint wood pigeons. Competition question: How do I know it was a "he"? Sony MD and mic. Brittany June 2006.

Indeed, only the male goes "cuckoo" - the female is almost completely silent. My standard tease when someone says "I heard a cuckoo today" is to ask "was it a male or a female?". Most people don't know.

Competition answer: the "she" doesn't sing. "He" sings to do the courting (???)

well filtered, I like it. About 'he'... I give up, maybe you know from the bird's way of driving? :-) (sorry for the bad joke)
