Relaxed fox

| August 11, 2010

The Evening Standard (and various other outlets) reports yesterday on a very relaxed fox spotted on a lilo in a pool… what next, foxes with cocktails?

Hose investigation

| August 9, 2010

Here are some photos for June 20th. The cub who I have mentally dubbed “Ears” (yes, I know I said I wasn’t going to name them, but (a) she’s still around and (b) she seems to have this habit of spending most of her time with her ears back) was checking out what remained of […]

Journey to the centre of the earth

| August 5, 2010

Just a little set for you today, from June 18th. One of the cubs decided that one of the larger holes in our lawn was the most FASCINATING thing and decided to keep a watchful eye on it for a while….

A couple of quick behaviour notes

| August 2, 2010

We’re only seeing two of this year’s cubs in the garden regularly at the moment; not the other two, not the vixen. (I’m slightly surprised the vixen hasn’t stuck around.) 1) Tonight I saw one of the cubs mounting the other. I imagine they’ve not really reached sexual maturity yet, but, little ones? Not good […]

Tasty patio…

| July 31, 2010

Photos from June 17th, here. Mostly the fox family were relaxing on the lawn, but I am really not sure quite what one of the cubs was licking up from the patio in the last few — and no, this is not related to the furry clean-up squad incident on which I reported earlier on […]

A couple of quickies

| July 30, 2010

1) I see there has been another report in the media about someone being attacked by a fox. I’m sure it’s deeply unpleasant for the person concerned, but I also don’t believe that all the foxes in the UK have unilaterally decided that 2010 is going to be The Year They Bite People. I’m currently […]

The World Cup must have been on…

| July 27, 2010

Yes, we really ARE over a month behind with the photo posts. Don’t even ask about Foxcam. I think the number of photos I can get is likely to start going down a bit; we’re not seeing the cubs quite as often and the evenings are of course getting a little shorter. I imagine the […]

An intimate dinner for two

| July 24, 2010

A couple of evenings ago I put out the food for the foxes as usual, although the mix was slightly different; peanuts and cheese, as usual, but also a half-pack of crispy bacon that had gone past its best-before date. I had forgotten just how much Lardy Cat likes crispy bacon. Enough, it transpires, to […]

Just a quick post for you this evening – some photos from June 11th when one of the cubs wanted his or her full share of the limelight… Click on any photo to see a larger version, you know the drill by now.
