Evidence for identification
Perfect match to spectrograms of this call, which is also given in the daytime.
Confidence statement
High confidence since this is a well-known vocalisation.
Similar species / confusion risks
Remember that other shorebirds could potentially give similar noises, so keep alert especially on sequences of the more excitable call notes.
