The nights are drawing in, the temperature is dropping, and that makes a more-or-less-regular food source look more attractive to foxes… even those foxes who are new to the area. I looked out of the window one afternoon a week or so back and saw this: Yes, okay, a fox on the lawn, not all […]

I’ve never had (or wanted) to feed my foxes jam sandwiches, but apparently it is a well-known way of getting them to take a mange remedy, should one be needed. When our locals were younger, they seemed quite happy to eat bread — there are videos of ours on YouTube hunting down and making off […]

All of the Foxcam footage over the last couple of days seems to have involved very damp foxes. I don’t think they like the rain, and they definitely don’t seem to want to come out in daylight when it’s raining! Unfortunately the fox who rather elegantly shook itself on camera did so right at the […]

Our foxes have built themselves a nest! … okay, not quite. What they have taken to doing is hanging out on top of our shed, soaking up the autumn sunshine. (What is this “nocturnal” of which you speak?) As I type, two of them are up there, curled up peacefully. They do add an autumnal […]

I am convinced that there is a sign somewhere on our property which says “Fox Gourmet Restaurant – This Way”. Or, possibly, “Owner Of This House Is A Soft Touch” – like the signs that the Roma or hobos are reputed to leave. Either would be true, in any case! On Monday morning, I had […]

One of the fox cubs — not Ears, who is still resident in the garden as far as I know, but one of the other two cubs who still occasionally visit the garden for food — has been limping over the last few days. He or she (let’s fix on “he”, otherwise this entry will […]

No, it is not the foxes who are soggy — well, they probably are, but they’ve not been out much in the recent wet weather, and really, do you blame them? The garden is decidedly damp, though, and thus it’s much easier to dig holes in the lawn to bury your food in. If you’re […]

Here are some photos for June 20th. The cub who I have mentally dubbed “Ears” (yes, I know I said I wasn’t going to name them, but (a) she’s still around and (b) she seems to have this habit of spending most of her time with her ears back) was checking out what remained of […]

Just a little set for you today, from June 18th. One of the cubs decided that one of the larger holes in our lawn was the most FASCINATING thing and decided to keep a watchful eye on it for a while….

Photos from June 17th, here. Mostly the fox family were relaxing on the lawn, but I am really not sure quite what one of the cubs was licking up from the patio in the last few — and no, this is not related to the furry clean-up squad incident on which I reported earlier on […]
