My guess is that its a bird of some description , but I don't know for sure .

So can you tell what it is ?

Right at the start , the very first sound ( is not so screeching but more of a purr or something...)

Also around the 9 seconds mark it happens again

Weird and wonderful at the same time , it would be great to find out what makes this sound and why ...

And don't give me the whole beast or black dog stories... we're nowhere near Bodmin here.... :)
The only wild feral beasts around here are the natives ...

:)

So what do you think it is ?

I've put a link as I can't seem to upload a sound on here .

Cheers

I've just searched the muntjac sounds , and I can only find a bark , which doesn't match however the fox sound is close ...

Maybe a young muntjac in distress. The purring sound may be what's causing the distress!

I have read that you can call in a muntjac by using a blade of grass between the thumbs to imitate the cry of the young.

You may of course have recorded me practicing this!
