Barden Fell

Sorry no pictures, about thrush size maybe little bigger, quite high up and emitting a really weird sound like a descending drumming sound which must have been produced by its wings as it lost altitude while making sound, which stopped as bird gained height and came round again to repeat same sound several times , This was on open moorland with a small mixed wood plantation near by.any suggestions gratefully received
