We were having lunch a couple of days ago when we spotted an unusual visitor to our bird table…! We are reasonably sure that no birds were harmed — they would have flown away long before this vixen had made it up there — but surely bird food isn’t that appetising for foxes? (It’s not […]

According to an article on the BBC here, new research shows that urban foxes are tending to have smaller brains and a differently-shaped snout to their country cousins — smaller brains because they do not need to pursue so many different types of prey, different snout as an adaptation for urban foraging. We haven’t been […]

Good thing the camera can cope acceptably with low light if you ask it nicely….! Mum and two of the cubs decided to come out and check out the food, but first the cubs decided they weren’t weaned just yet!

It was a nice sunny day on Friday (which is more than can be said around Fox Towers today, at least). And the cubs decided to come out and show themselves in the sunshine. We have at least four — I wouldn’t be surprised if there was at least one more waiting to show itself, […]

It’s a strange world you’re coming into, kid, but welcome anyhow…

One of our local foxes decided to come and investigate the house the other evening.

One of our cats came over to investigate and […]

Although it’s been quite chilly here the past few days, it has been sunny for much of the time. With the sun come the foxes — well, they come out from their dens, anyhow — and they seem to find the roof of our shed a good place to sunbathe. Possibly the tar-paper covering it […]

It is, by this point, a fairly old and knackered shed. (I won’t be surprised to find the foxes living in, rather than under, it one of these years.) But its tar-papered roof still provides a handy sun-trap and vantage point for the foxes at this time of year.

Lazing on an autumn afternoon….!

So we cut down some of the brambles and such in the garden — what do you mean, “I can’t tell the difference?” Hush, now. Anyway, that means we’ve been more easily able to see the local foxes taking in the sun, and so too have our cats. Neither side appears to mind much; as […]
