Fantastic, thanks for letting me know Jim. You're spot on with the calling - it's a long-range communication technique, which is rapidly attenuated when it's damp. Ideally they want cold, clear nights for the sound to carry furthest (same goes with owl calls, the old joke "too-wet-to-wooo" is actually pretty accurate).

Cheers,
Marc.

Hi Jim. Thought I'd take this off the thread as it distracts from the initial question. I'd be very interested to know if you do get any decent recordings of the fox calls. I'm working on a revision of my fox article and was hoping to track down some calls to illustrate their vocal repertoire. Cheers, Marc.

All I can hear is someone shouting "Daddy, Daddy, how could you have been so cruel? As a little girl I put all my trust in you and you just left me to dangle there over the raging torrent until my hands could no longer bear my weight, and, exhausted, I dropped down to what seemed like certain death, with only my strong will to save me". I wonder if that could be her?
