I recently moved to a new flat with a large garden that I don’t have access to and is wild.
At night I can hear yelping noises, like a high-pitched dog bark, coming from the garden. It is clearly some kind of animal. The noises are quite regular, always the same pitch, and made in bursts with a few seconds between each one, followed by an approx. 30-40sec gap after a few.
This time of year there is a good chance of foxes, they often pair up.
You will probably get an almost unnatural and unnerving scream, almost sounds like a woman is being horribly murdered, at least thats what I imagine the sound is like, all part of the mating ritual.
Around my house they always seem to be right outside the range of lights. However, in Virginia Beach, they are so tame they will come right up to you at night, I thought the fox was rabid or something, but from article I read it’s not uncommon.
