Today I have learned what Great Crested Grebe sounds like. I have heard this in nearby marshlands but always too far to match sound to bird. MerlinID is not 100% accurate but I matched your clear sound to the very poor quality xeno-canto on https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/great-crested-grebe and it seems correct. Thank you!
