A tawny owl calling in my garden.

Recorded with a Fuji F810 digital camera, I cleaned out the noise and got rid of long silences using Audacity.

I used your great clip in a shortfilm (approx. 4:26 into the film) that I just posted. I credited you in the closing credits. THANK YOU!!!!

I guess he means in order to keep only the bird's shriek you removed too much background hiss (white noise). As a result it sounds a bit 'lifeless' so to say. But hey, it's fine for a digital camera! Also, just for the sake of curiosity have a look at the file in Audacity under spectral view. Very instructive!
