Scared the c*rap out of us.. We heard what sounded like screams.. And monkeys ?!?!

It seems its fox mating season.. Have a look at this ! All the dogs in the area were going bonkers !!

I guess less cars driving around at night / less rubbish for them to get in, they are coming closer to the houses ? We have forest in front of us, but we have been here for 3 years and we haven't heard this before

Late for Foxes or maybe different in Spain. I leave food out for foxes and they usually mate in January. Have seen Cubs late March. I hear them sometimes in the night but they sound far away.

In my parents time in rural Ireland people would talk about hearing a "Banshee crying". It was as you have found out a fox looking for sex ! I've heard the same and have tried to keep the dog quiet.

There is a fox near where I live and she is very noisy, a real screamer. You can hear it mostly in the summer when she leaves the windows open.
