My father — from whom we bought this house, and who is therefore the one to blame for the foxes’ den in the first place — has today sent me a copy of Both In It Together – A Farmer’s Life With Foxes written by John Carter. It is a rather sweet little book, written […]

I wish I had some video of this particular interaction to share with you, but unfortunately not, you’ll have to picture it for yourselves… In the garden, on the lawn: one of the fox cubs. (This particular cub seems to have taken to hanging out in the main visible bit of the garden during the […]

Today’s photos are from June 9th. Then, as most usually today, one of the cubs was the first one out to check out the food that I’d left out; it’s not always the same cub, mind you. I think they have some kind of rota system organised from behind the bushes; I wonder if they’re […]

A few more photos from the archives for you, today; these are from June 3rd. It was a lovely evening here at Fox Towers, and the vulpine members of the community certainly seemed to be making the most of it.

I’ve held off commenting on this documentary for a few days to give it a little time to settle in my mind. This was shown on More4 this past Sunday night (4th July). I’m told it’s a re-editing of an older programme, though I have not seen the original — it certainly wouldn’t surprise me […]

My cats have figured out the gentle art of teamwork when dealing with the foxes. As the cubs are roaming around a bit more, it’s not unusual to see one cub on its own coming out to look for some food. Yesterday evening, one of them was pottering around on the lawn, initially keeping a […]
