The evening videos — in daylight, more or less — were definitely of more interest than the overnight videos from this morning’s haul. The cubs and their Mum had some dinner and then played a little bit.
One of the local crows was rather vocal about wanting some of the food which had been put out for the foxes, and did swoop down to take a few bits. It won’t tangle with the vixen, and seems shy of bothering the cubs as well, now that they’re getting bigger — although they are probably still more scared of it than it is of them.
It’s also noticeable that the cubs’ tails are starting to fill out a little more. When they were smaller, their tails were thin and very much tapered to a point; they’re now starting to become more even in thickness.

The cubs have still not learned that you Do Not Mess With Hedgehogs. I dare say they will figure it out sooner or later…

Today was a damp and unpleasant day; we didn’t see the foxes in daylight at all, they only came out after dark…

The BBC have some pictures of a baby fox being rescued from a watering can. Luckily, not one of ours!

I don’t know what the dandelions in my garden have done to deserve it, but the foxes suddenly seem very interested in them! (All right, perhaps it’s because the dandelions concerned were in the middle of the food I’d put out for the foxes.) Also, photographic evidence that at least one of our cats is not all that concerned about the foxes; watchful, rather than worried.

I rather pity our resident vixen — it can’t be easy bringing up four children cubs. She’s keen to make sure the cubs are always well-groomed, no matter what time of night it is, but the cubs are just as determined to get under her feet and have more ATTENTION TO ME NOW NOW NOW…

The cubs were particularly active during the day today, spending quite a long while chasing one another round the lawn, tumbling over one another, play-fighting and generally getting under their mother’s feet.

Again, the cubs are learning how to deal with hedgehogs… or how not to deal with them:
