The Art of Pouncing is a difficult art to master, as a young fox cub. There’s no Mr Miyagi-alike who comes along and makes you move one paw at a time to improve your coordination (or at least, if there is a Mr Miyagi for foxes, he’s invisible to Foxcam). So it means that the […]

In daylight the lawn is just a lawn, full of interesting flowers, other foxes to chase, holes to dig (… I rather wish they wouldn’t…), fascinating smells, and maybe the occasional bit of last night’s food. At night, though, the lawn comes alive with UNEXPECTED SPIKY THINGS. Or, in other words: as well as the […]

I’ve moved FoxCam round a little bit, as the irises growing in the pond (the taller foliage that you may have noticed in previous videos) were starting to get in the way of seeing the foxes clearly. Instead of being attached to an upright pillar forming part of an arbour, it’s now tied to the […]

The BBC have an article asking whether animals should have a right to privacy from being filmed. It’s a slightly interesting question, although if the animals don’t know they’re being filmed, are they actually going to care? As far as Garden Fox Watch goes, we’re not filming or photographing the foxes other than when they […]

The foxes always prefer sunshine — or at least they come out to play during the day more often when it is sunny (and do we blame them?) Today was a bright day, and the foxes took full advantage. Poor Mum was trying to have a nice rest, but the cubs really weren’t having any […]

A couple more videos for you here; one from the evening of 29th April, before we moved the camera, and one from the afternoon of 1st May, after the camera move.

I thought, before today, that we had three cubs in our foxy family. But this appears not to be the case; count the sets of little glowing eyes in last night’s first video… And in the second, one of the cubs learns that his mother’s tail is NOT a chew toy. (Click on “more” to […]

The cubs are starting to become a little bolder. They’re seen in the following videos “helping” their mother gather some food, and then making their way out to feed without her — although they’re still much happier when she’s around. (Click on “more” to view the videos.)

One of the good things about working from home is that I can keep an eye on the fox cubs. One of the less good things is that I run the risk of losing an hour of my day watching small cute furry things in the garden…! (As usual, click on any photo to enlarge […]

The cubs have been out overnight again, but they are still keen to stick close to Mum; they’re not straying far from her side (or, indeed, under her feet)… Click on “more” to see the video.
