I heard this bird today that I didn't recognise. There's probably a birding lemmy but I thought I'd try here first. The audio quality sucks but its a continuous warble that decreases in pitch over about 2 seconds.

Eurasian blue tit?

A swallow straining under the weight of a coconut.

Perhaps if he grips it by the husk?

It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

Check out the Merlin bird ID app.

I love Merlin! I do go back and delete my old recordings though, they took a lot of space on my phone. Especially because I'm sitting there waiting for the bird to do it again... It's pretty good at ignoring other noises like traffic and dogs.

I checked it with whoBIRD (FOSS app that identifies bird calls), I disabled location and date and played the sound from my PC. Pretty confident it's a Eurasian blue tit.

Great, thanks for the app suggestion and the effort!

I think it's a Blue Tit as well. Here's some samples from xeno-canto which sound similar to your clip:

Thanks! It's strange, we have loads of blue tits in our garden and I swear I've not heard it before.
