Can anyone identify this animal/bird

Recommended Posts

At 5 am this morning I was woken (had been asleep for 1.5 hours :twisted: ) by a continuous high pitched screeching - def not a fox and don't think an owl would keep going for that long and any caught rabbit would be long gone (plus live in surburbia). We have a resident owl but it really does terwit to woo :lol: sure it was some sort of bird as started at that time. Chooks are still locked up then and have no cockerals :think:

could be one of the smaller owls... such as the barn owl..although a funny time of night....have a look on the RSPB website, they have audio clips of birds, in the A-Z bird id-er...very useful! Herons screech too...

 

These are all fox sounds..very useful for the chook owner...

I do still love my fox though, as I think that I am on their territory, not they on mine....I know that makes for an unpopular view on here....but I love seeing the cubs playing in the street. They set ou car alarm off every night for a week running over the roof of our car.

Glad you've found out what it was though....I once spent an hour searching for a " kitten" in the churchyard opposite where I used to live.....when a visiting Nun told me it was baby squirrells, it sounded just like a kitten I swear :oops:
