..Im with you on that one Lorraine..I would send my hubby out too in his boxers with a torch!..lol

We have foxes here and the noise they make can be a bit scarey. My dogs always tell me when they are about. At the moment the mum of my pups goes mad if they walk within 200 yards of the house and she knows even if the dogs are indoors.
When the pups were first born around the middle of april the fox got really daring and came right up to the patio door. It must have known that there was a litter of new borns about (from the smell of the female's dogs urine) and thought that there might be an easy meal. Even when my husband when down stairs as Phoenix the mum was going crazy and the OH banged on the patio door the fox just sat and looked at him.
The cubs also make quite a lot of noise we have seen them running about across the road and in a neighbours garden last year.

when we moved to our house 5 years ago i heard the foxes for the 1st time

made hubby go out in his boxers with a torch cos a thought a dog had been run over,

awful noise but I was it just them calling each other.

They live happily at the end of my garden, have had cubs every year since i've been here.

They cause me no problems apart from the cat getting ticks from rolling around in the leaves , freaked me out covered the poor thing with vasaline and dettol suprised he survived really,

any way frontline did the trick

would never shoot one although my brother does as he is a chicken farmer, my aunt would send the fox hunt the wrong way if she saw the fox 1st, said there were more humane ways of controlling them.

Is the noise settling Hayley?

lol you lot wouldn't last 2 minutes in the country :-)

In my display garden...............I dont think so.....its for sunshine and pretty flowers.....lol

be thankful you dont have Chickens Hayley..!...

Then the cats start and wake the flipping magpies up..and all hell lets loose...lol

I agree sounds like its a vixen protecting her cubs...I throw food oer the fence for them...last year the cubs sneaked and she dragged them back..lol

Its not mating Hayley and you know my views on them so please do shoot it

Jeazzz its off again...nosey thing....I ant listening to that all night......if I cant sleep I will go and shoot..it

If its mating ...sounds like its having a ruddy good time...lol

~~~just looked on you tube..if its high pitched screaming..its a vixen..a male is more like a bark..

probably protecting cubs..as its cub season

Theres nothing wrong with it ..........they just call

pleased there are no traps Hayley, hope it's ok anyway !

If its a sound your not used to it can be un-nerving and many people think its a woman screaming ....
