Can anyone help me ID this bird call please, Merlin does not recognise it, I’m sure my father would have known.
It is owl-like but not like the owls I usually hear, we have had large non-native escaped owls in the past.
Heard about 0145 last night, south west England.

Fairly. It went on for about 30m (same call each time) but then stopped after the recording (I think it heard me using the loo).

It certainly sounds like a fox to me, we hear them frequently around us.
The only birds we hear at night are tawny owls.

Plus one for a fox to be honest. Right time of night and the right time of year for females to be barking out to attract males.
Thanks chaps. A stuck-record fox it must have been.
