Discouraging foxes

| February 11, 2011

Should you want to discourage foxes from entering your garden, there are many ways of doing so. The Fox Project has a list of many of them (under their “Deterrence” heading). But there are more unusual ways of keeping foxes away from your livestock; it may not be within everyone’s budget, but have you considered […]

Window-licking, again

Aha! My foxes are not the only ones who lick windows…

Pairs of foxes

| January 26, 2011

The Bad Witch has been fox-spotting in her garden — at this rate I’ll be subcontracting the writing of this blog to her 😉 (Although I think she is being a little optimistic about one of the foxes being noticeably pregnant; it’s a bit early for that, yet. We’ll probably find that said fox has […]

What her grandmother never taught her

| January 19, 2011

Ears is back! She hadn’t been hanging around by the patio doors in at least a couple of weeks (although she’d been coming by the food area overnight)… possibly because it hadn’t been as cold recently around Fox Towers, possibly because she’d been off getting acquainted with the local males, who knows. Anyway. Yesterday evening […]

Odds and ends

| January 14, 2011

I know, I know, a bit quiet here at Fox Towers lately. The humans are getting back into work, and the foxes… well, they’re definitely still visiting the lawn for their dinner, although I’m not sure we have any in residence just now; they’ve not been leaping out of the bushes as soon as the […]

What to do with your food — when you find it

| December 25, 2010

Good morning, folks! Merry Christmas from all at Fox Towers. Since you’ve not had much video from me just lately (short days, bad light), a little Christmas present; I spotted Ears hunting in the snow on Monday. Problem was, when she found her food, she couldn’t decide whether to eat it or play with it…

Two lonely souls…

| December 24, 2010

Picture the scene. Foxy Lady and Mr Fox are sitting at the table, eating their dinner, when Ears potters along the patio and sits down outside the patio doors, looking hopeful. (She does this quite often, and occasionally it’ll work and she’ll get some food thrown out onto the patio for her.) Our lardier cat […]

Foxes eat too much junk food

| December 18, 2010

With a hat tip to @jamesgraham on Twitter, foxes are now apparently eating too much junk food…

More adoptable foxes…

| December 14, 2010

Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue, who are based in Camberley in Surrey, have let me know that they too have adoptable foxes available. I’ve added them to the list…

A furry gift for the festive season

| December 13, 2010

We are moving in to what is, in some circles, known as the Primary Gifting Period (according to Bill Bailey, anyway). If you’re me, that means a reasonable amount of time racking your brains as to what to buy the person who seems to have everything — or, worse, the person who says “Oh, I […]
