Any idea what was causing this noise

We were in some woodlands in Sussex over Easter, quite close to some water and heard a terrific "whooping" noise up in a tree which sounded rather like an animal snuffling in water. There were a number of magpies circling around the tree but there was too much foliage to see what creature was making the noise. We wondered whether it might have been either a nesting duck, or possibly a woodpecker which was being disturbed but as we've never heard any sound anywhere near like it before, can't imagine what it was. Any ideas?

A howler monkey? Sorry that was facetious

Thanks Diane but sadly could access the site as I got the message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (webhttp) isn't associated with any program." I tried a couple of variants but they didn't work either.

I think 'web ...... site' has somehow got into this address.
Try:
