Any idea which bird song this might be?

Repeated phrases in threes are usually a thrush song. Song thrush or mistle thrush would be my guess.

Also worth looking into this Cornell project that has an experimental app for iOS and Android @Fire https://birdnet.cornell.edu/

The bird was pretty much confirmed as a song thrush. Thanks to @wild edges for the lead.

Bird Genie is another song app that looks promising.

Lev Parkikan is running a project on teaching people to learn different bird song. His website is here.

I saw a song thrush for the first time last week, quite a striking call.

I use Bird net app. Mine says song thrush and there's greenfinch too in there.

I must say that sounded nothing like my song thrush.
Mine was easy to watch as it sat at the very top of the tree. It's song was a complicated mix of other birds songs, always in sets of three with a gap between. Only know it was singing as I could see it, it sounded so like other birds.

Are you sure yours isn't a mistle thrush? They tend to sing from the very tops of trees. The songs are really variable though. The RSPB reckon they sound like a drunk blackbird but I can't hear it myself.
