What the hell kind of death badger is this

Just about to go to sleep last night and suddenly the woods just behind our house start making loud noises...

Any idea what kind of killer bear this is?

It's a bird. Probs a horny grouse.

Either a chicken or, looking at your location, the sasquatches could have gathered for the annual quorum in the woods behind your house.

Nothing to worry about, there may be some music and some drug paraphernalia left over but they're usually clean creatures. If you do find anything left over, get in touch with the forestry commission, they've got people in all parts of the UK who are trained to clean up and manage the very rare aftermath of Sasquatch activity.

Could it be a battletoad!? :eek:

Could be a badger chittering. Possibly due to mating if adult or cubs can make weird noises like that too.

The Chitter is a relatively short, high-pitched, querulous chatter.
Adult chitter is used in the context of pain / fear and frustration / anxiousness. The chitter is often used by the female, either when she is being harassed by a male intending to mate, or to signal pain or fear during mating. In cubs it is heard mainly during excited social play.
A gentle variant of the Chitter is the call referred to as the "Whicker", a sound like the whinny of the horse often used in situations of mild frustration.

Last time I heard there aren't any grouse moors near southampton. So probably not that.

I don’t see what a cartoon caricature of Ozzy Osbourne has to do with noises from someone’s back garden?
