Waiting…
Foxy Lady | April 17, 2011
It has been a little quiet around here of late, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. That would be because we’re still waiting to see if we have cubs in residence this year… although a lot of people are reporting they’re already seeing cubs in and around their gardens and parks, but ours are not yet […]

It backed off to hide under a table when […]
