Odds and ends
Posted By Foxy Lady on January 14, 2011
I know, I know, a bit quiet here at Fox Towers lately. The humans are getting back into work, and the foxes… well, they’re definitely still visiting the lawn for their dinner, although I’m not sure we have any in residence just now; they’ve not been leaping out of the bushes as soon as the food hits the ground. That might, of course, have something to do with there not being six inches of snow on the ground at the moment. (I don’t think it’s just that they dislike the dry dog food that they’re now getting instead of peanuts; something’s eating it…)
Ears and Paletail are still showing up on camera, along with at least one more visitor. We’ll see if any of them decide to settle down and raise a family here this year…
In other news:
- Bad Witch has had a visit from her local foxes, evidently scouting for their new home;
- New Scientist report that foxes may use the Earth’s magnetic field to help hunt their prey. This is very cool!;
- (with apologies for linking to the Daily Mail): Hunter shot in the leg by fox;
And speaking of idiots with guns: a protest is being organised on 25th January against the Scottish vet who recently shot and killed a “monster fox”. For more details, please contact paul_mc_donald at msn dot com (turning that into a more conventional email address first).
