Strange Noises In The Night

• I just googled it and this youtube video came up...Bambi making snorting noises. The noises are clearer further into the clips. See if this works....

+1, I've heard & witnessed both Hares & Hedgehogs emitting sounds that seem quite alien to them

Thank you Brue and Rocky. We also googled "hare sounds" but couldn't find anything like this. It sounds as if it comes from the throat area. 

We're going to put the camera out again tonight and if all we get is hares, then it must be them. I must admit, I was hoping to capture something more interesting! Will let you know tomorrow morning, if we haven't been eaten by the beast of Bodmin Moor (who must be holidaying in Lincolnshire!) 

Is it a frog?  It's a bit late in the season but I still have a couple of frogs in my garden pond that are calling occasionally.

Maybe it's a fox , we have a family of them living next door to us and I've heard that noise on several occasions. I thought one of them had a "fur ball" in its throat.🐺🐺.

We originally thought it was a fox but the camera has only caught hares so far. We've set the camera back up and it's our last night here so we're hoping for better results tonight.

It's not a frog JohnM20 we too have them at home and we're very familiar with their calls in the back garden from February onwards! 

ADD46,   Don't forget at night noise travels a long way ,so the culprit may not be as close as you think. You may have to widen your camera trap.

We've reviewed the camera footage from last night. The only animals caught on camera are rabbits, a hare, a hedgehog and a rather large rat. 

It's been interesting to review the activities that go on after dark, right outside the caravan door, without you knowing. We'll definitely take the camera away with us next time which will be another CL with similar surroundings, ie farm land and fields. Thanks for all your replies and suggestions. After speaking to the CL owner, he confirmed that they have an active badger set close to the CL and foxes visit regularly. He suggested it may be the resident little owl that sits on the fence post close to where we were pitched.

So we still cannot identify the noise we heard but we now have lots of nice pictures of rabbits! 

Nightlife is probably just as busy as daylight life, probably more so? What sort of camera are you using? It's been interesting reading this thread, I'll look forward to your next overnight camera adventure!
