Horrendous noises on campo.

Last Friday night we heard horrible screeching noises out in the darkness followed by dogs barking.  We thought it might be foxes making the noise and the neighbours dogs out chasing them.  Then the day before yesterday about 5pm when we were enjoying the late afternoon sunshine we heard the same screeching but from the hills the other side of the house.  No dogs this time,  and although we looked, we couldn't see any birds around -  the eagles that come over here sometimes make a noise.

Tonight just as I was getting ready for the last dog walk the same screeching started - same place as  the first time on the hills to the front of the house - now I'm back home and have just googled  'what noise do foxes make'.  We've listened to a couple of u-tube clips and it's definitely been foxes,  and probably the vixens as it's a call made during mating season.

So nothing nasty,  although Pip wasn't so sure and when the call also came out of my computer, Monty started barking.  Maybe he thought the fox had got into the house!
