Thankfully, the dogs were sleeping this side with their backs to it!!It must be their breeding season now, maybe, as they're making an awful lot of noise at night, some of it sounds like a baby being murdered or a cat, and then there's that strange barking that they do which is very loud in the dead of night.

Tbh that Fox was lucky you found it and not someone else, a wild animal should ideally have more wits about it, nice pics though.

The mating season is generally December/January. What you are hearing is probably the vixen calling her cubs.

There is a bridge that goes over the park next to my house, and I was looking down into the river one day, and there on the bank in as wee space in between the bushes was a wee fox, curled up asleep
It was sooooo cute, and I stood for ages watching it... and every so often it made a wee slight movement.
