Making the lawn their own…

| June 4, 2010

Well, perhaps not quite; the cats still stroll around earlier on in the day, before the foxes come out for their constitutional around 2.15 pm. They’re quite regular about that; emerge and lounge around on the lawn for a while, sunbathe, possibly indulge in a little chasing one another round the pond, and then head […]

A backlog

| June 4, 2010

The plus point of warmer weather and more active foxes: yay, foxes! The minus points of warmer weather and more active foxes: more media to sort through and catalogue. To give you an example, when I swapped out the data card from Foxcam this morning, it had 153 new items on it. Even accounting for […]

The fox takeaway

| May 24, 2010

Usually, when I’ve put down food for the foxes, things happen in the following order: The local bird life descends to grab what they can before the foxes get to it. This usually includes a couple of pigeons (after the peanuts), a magpie or two (after whatever they can get, frankly), and at least one […]

It’s a mystery to me…

| May 21, 2010

… why these cubs continue with their hedgehog investigations. But they still make me laugh! Also under the fold — practising creeping up on your sibling, and proving that Mum still does the best at feeding the cubs… even if it’s her own food.

Tuesday 18th

| May 21, 2010

Three more videos for you (and there’s another one on our YouTube channel). We have foxes playing the Up and Under game (now there’s a reference that’ll lose a lot of people…), also hurdling, and there’s the reappearance of an old friend…

Wrestling, pouncing and hedgehog-worrying

| May 21, 2010

I have four videos here for you from Monday. We prove that there are still four fox cubs — despite the fact that we don’t often see all of them out together, they are still here. There’s also another snapshot of the eternal struggle to be on top; some Advanced Leaping and Pouncing practice; and […]

Too cute to keep up with

| May 21, 2010

Sorry things have been a little quiet this week, folks. Big work project and also the foxes have been producing too much cuteness — I can’t keep up! I’ve got videos, I’ve got photos, all coming to a post near you very soon…

The Dog and Fox

| May 19, 2010

While our cats may not be playmates with the foxes, here’s a story from the BBC about a dog and fox who have become friends.

Two late-night observations

| May 18, 2010

1) my cat can outrun a fox, just about; 2) an adult fox, hitting a locked cat-flap at full tilt, will not break that cat-flap. I would love to know what caused that altercation!

They’re for the high jump

| May 18, 2010

In the past few days, the cubs seem to have taken to attempting to vault over their mother. She’s still quite a bit bigger than they are, so you can imagine how successful they usually are(n’t). Below the fold are four videos from the evening of 15th May — we’re getting a lot of new […]
