VIXEN 'SCREAM'

Recorded (only audio) outside my bungalow a few minutes ago.   The vixen 'scream' is misleading as a dog fox can also make the same call.  The call sets off a dog barking from a house nearby.  Listen for the very loud calls at about 40 seconds in.  A little later I heard the answering call of this fox's mate.  The calls of foxes are complex and a language all of their own ranging from fighting, mating, socialising and various alarm calls.
