Has anyone else heard a strange animal call over the past few nights, near the junction of Colyton & Dovedale? Very distinct, four or five throaty chirps every few minutes, almost sounds tropical. First thoughts were a pheasant or some type of owl, could possibly be foxes but haven't ever heard them make a sound like this before. Very odd...

I've managed to edit a video I took the other night to isolate the calls - any ideas anyone?

(Yes I know I should've used an audio recorder but I didn't have one on my phone and didn't want to miss it!)

Following some investigative research aka Google searches, disappointingly it would appear to be just foxes, not some rare owl 🙁

Although I'm still mystified as to why I've never heard this call before, having lived in the same flat for nearly 20 years and constantly having had foxes & cubs in the garden throughout that time...

Oh well, mystery solved!

a couple of years ago i was woken up on more than one night by what i can only describe as a robot groaning.

or a person sighing through a vocoder. coming from the garden or somewhere close.

 

freaked me the hell out.

Dog fox, vixen does the screaming. Wonderful ED wildlife comes up to my 1st floor balcony to eat their takeaways then shit in as many places as possible and scent mark anything vertical, even the front door. Just spent an hour scrubbing as the smell has infiltrated the flat. Bearing in mind my brain is bigger than theirs, I should be able to solve this problem.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by 'groves' (Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
