    Check out the predator masters websites for downloads

    Or go to bird watching websites for recordings

    I ripped this from the DVD I had years ago - it's a 30 minute recording:

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Kz3...ew?usp=sharing

    Nowadays, you can put it it on a memory card or use your phone with Bluetooth speakers. Technology has move on

    I'll leave the link up for a little while before Google gets upset with me!!

    Havock Productions have an Android app for Magpie distress calls - i tried it once with a bluetooth speaker but there was a bit of background noise in the recording so half spooked them off. i need to try again.

    Talking of calls though, has anyone tried a rabbit distress call for stoats and ferrets? This worked brilliantly for a stoat a few months back.
