Fox in the snow, the tail end

| December 12, 2010

This is the last of the set of photos from Friday 3rd. As I originally mentioned, this started out as six hundred and twenty-three photos… trimming them down to seventy took a little while! If you are on the Fox Towers’ Christmas card list, you may consider some of these a sneak preview 😉 As […]

Fox and snow, part 2

| December 11, 2010

Here is part 2 of the set of photos of Paletail enjoying the snow on Friday 3rd. Well, in fairness he was probably enjoying the chicken rather more than the snow! The first part of the set is here. Enjoy the photos, and please do feel free to pass the link around to other people […]

The fox and the snow

| December 10, 2010

“Who lives in a garden like this?” Like most of the rest of the UK, Fox Towers’ neck of the woods has had snow — quite a bit of snow last week, actually. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to take some lovely photos of our local foxes against a nice white background, but were […]

A different type of urban animal

| December 8, 2010

OK, and people are worried about foxes? In Chicago, they have coyotes… http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2010/12/08/131876027/60-wild-coyotes-patrol-chicago-and-occasionally-stop-at-convenience-stores

Snowy foxes, coming soon…

| December 6, 2010

I mentioned on Twitter on Friday that one of our foxes (PaleTail) had finally come out in daylight so that I could get some decent fox-in-the-snow pictures. I’m just going through the pics now. There are, er, six hundred and twenty-three of them. May take me another day or so, sorry folks 😉 I do […]

Foxes in hoodies – another request for help from the BBC

| December 1, 2010

The BBC’s filming last night was cancelled, unfortunately (see their previous request for help) and now they’re looking to reschedule; they’d like to film somewhere in the London area that “looks urban” (which rules out Fox Towers, unfortunately; we have neither tower blocks nor foxes in hoodies) and where the foxes tend to hang around […]

Request for help from the BBC

| November 23, 2010

Hi folks, I’ve been contacted by Katy Elson at the BBC. She’s looking for someone with urban foxes in their back garden (or at least nearby) who might be willing to have them filmed next week (week beginning 29/11/2010) for the Springwatch Christmas Special — in an ideal world you would be fairly near Southampton, […]

Foxes in art…

| November 16, 2010

The BBC reports that paintings of foxes have taken the top two prizes in an art competition.

Strange hybrids

| November 5, 2010

It’s November 5th, which this year happens to be both Guy Fawkes’ Night and also Diwali, and thus the skies over SW London/NE Surrey are full of fireworks. The foxes, somewhat to my surprise, seem unbothered by them, as is Small Cat; Lardy Cat really hates fireworks and is even now hiding in a box […]

Clocks

| October 31, 2010

When I wandered downstairs this evening around sixish to prepare food for my cats and also for the foxes, both groups were looking a little impatient; the cats attempting to get under my feet, and two of the foxes waiting on the lawn. I fear that their internal clocks suggested that they should have had […]
