Of course, a certain UK show prefers the cry of a fox….

Midsomer Murders - What is that nocturnal animal/bird cry?

In pretty much every episode of “Midsomer Murder” with an outdoor night time scene, sooner or later you hear a cry. A sort of loudish “YAWWK.” At first I thought it might be the death cry of some animal, but sometimes you’ll hear it repeatedly, just a couple minutes apart, and I don’t think there would be that many animals getting offed that quickly. So, maybe some bird? Anybody know?
