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.

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
