A new bird call in the back garden - either that or there is someone cutting a copper pipe with a hacksaw. Bird sound is heard from 4.30am ish throughout the day. Anyone any ideas?

Could be a frog or one of those giant beetles (forget name).
We have a bird here in Alabama that sounds exactly like a dolphin....strange thing is...I don't believe it's originally from this area. We live in the woods and my son heard it (should've seen the look on his face) I've identified the bird making the sound and we've nicknamed it, "Full metal jacket." It's the color of bullets...lol

If you are in Britain then it is probably a Great Tit. My grandmother always used to say that they sound like squeaky bicycle pumps - so the rhythm sounds right for what you describe. They are calling a lot at the moment, probably terratorial.
If you see one compare it with the pictures on this site.
