What makes a noise like...

[Mattygooner]

A very large Goose that has been kicked in the knackers?

Making a lot of noise and keeping me up, almost sounds distressed but not sure it is, "Barks" every 30 seconds, we get a lot of foxes, doesn't sound like one of those. All surrounding dogs are the small yappy types.

Not a lot to go on I will grant you but I am intrigued.

Answers on a post card.

Wuss. Get out there and report back!

ETA - could be that Vaz critter. . .

Squirrel? I've got one that sounds like a duck with brain damage

Some of it sounds like this one...

Similar, but it was almost like a goose honking but with a deeper initial sound but a higher pitch end, like an overweight asthmatic who has walked up a hill trying to bark like a dog.

It's not the first time I have heard it so will investigate another night.

Deer?

Bigfoot?

[Mattygooner]

Could be, some YouTube clips sound similar, it's a green area but deer are rare.

Nope, but they sound great will try and get a recording tonight if it returns.

Another vote for squirrel. In the morning particularly they can be noisy buggers.

Doggers?

Heron?

Google it..

[viscountdallara]

I'm guessing Muntjac.

If it was a fat asthmatic with a penchant having his Jacobs stamped on then possibly....

Possibly a Heron, the sound of a blue heron is quite similar although don't think that is a species I the UK, don't think it was a squirrel.

I didn't think you were replying to my suggestion somehow. Would be hilarious if they did turn up though.

Try Grey Heron, we have quite a few in the UK. The can often be found away from water to.

Holy st, it was Keith Vaz!


Not really, but I did get a sound clip, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wc4NhY9ZliY

It's boring fox, typical of this time of year when the grown cubs are dispersing.
