I think someone earlier posted that it was slowed-down seagulls.

Hmmm, well, I looked up some more stuff (sorry I made a premature post) it seems that thats a sound that a queen bee can make. Example here:

Interesting that it sounds like/is simulated by slowed-down seagulls, too, since there's a lot of text relating to survival (the sundial) and being stranded out at sea (Gulliver's Travels) and such.

I don't think it's slowed seagulls... I think it's just a queen bee... after hearing other wav files and then listening to it again, it sounds very very similar... the one on the site I linked to sounds very similar, just more quiet.

Also, I work at the beach, and the beach pigeons (as we call them) don't usually keep calling in sections like that, usually its just a long call or two, not a long one and then 3 or 4 short ones.
