Recorded with my ZOOM H5 Handy recorder. Highpass filter with Audacity

Female swan swimming back and fort at the tree line. Around 2 meter and she turned around again looking in to the vegetation all the time giving this sound.

She did this for 2 hours, maybe longer while we were waiting for a Blue-eared Kingfisher to show up at the Swan lake and she was still swimming there when I gave up on the Kingfisher
