Need help identifying this strange call in the UK (1 Viewer)

I heard this very odd sounding call last night around midnight. It really doesn't sound like anything I've heard before in this country. I live in London, UK. My house backs onto a cemetery and a small forest. Whatever this was, it repeated this sound for around a minute before moving away.

Any ideas, guys?

P.S. Sorry about the poor recording!

Thanks.
 
Thanks guys. We do get a lot of foxes and they do make some odd noises, so you're probably right - never heard that call/bark before though! Thought it may have been something escaped from captivity.
