Foxes in art…

The BBC reports that paintings of foxes have taken the top two prizes in an art competition.
Garden Fox Watch
Watching a family of foxes growing up in my back garden.
Clocks
Foxy Lady | 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 […]
Countryfile
Foxy Lady | October 3, 2010
Well, that was all right, wasn’t it? … wasn’t it? I think I came off significantly better than Steve the fox-exterminator who did not wish to have his face on camera, and the footage they had from me of the fox in my garden looked good. I’ve been trying to get some more video footage […]
Day of Action
Foxy Lady | September 18, 2010
Today is the Save-Me Campaign‘s Day of Action for British wild animals. Please take a look at their site and, if you support keeping the ban on fox hunting firmly in its place, contact your MP to make them aware of that. I will be, since the MP for Fox Towers apparently supports repealing the […]
A couple of quickies
Foxy Lady | July 30, 2010
1) I see there has been another report in the media about someone being attacked by a fox. I’m sure it’s deeply unpleasant for the person concerned, but I also don’t believe that all the foxes in the UK have unilaterally decided that 2010 is going to be The Year They Bite People. I’m currently […]
The World Cup must have been on…
Foxy Lady | July 27, 2010
Yes, we really ARE over a month behind with the photo posts. Don’t even ask about Foxcam. I think the number of photos I can get is likely to start going down a bit; we’re not seeing the cubs quite as often and the evenings are of course getting a little shorter. I imagine the […]
“Both In It Together”
Foxy Lady | July 20, 2010
My father — from whom we bought this house, and who is therefore the one to blame for the foxes’ den in the first place — has today sent me a copy of Both In It Together – A Farmer’s Life With Foxes written by John Carter. It is a rather sweet little book, written […]
“Urban Fox Attack”
Foxy Lady | July 8, 2010
I’ve held off commenting on this documentary for a few days to give it a little time to settle in my mind. This was shown on More4 this past Sunday night (4th July). I’m told it’s a re-editing of an older programme, though I have not seen the original — it certainly wouldn’t surprise me […]
“Clever girl…”
Foxy Lady | July 8, 2010
My cats have figured out the gentle art of teamwork when dealing with the foxes. As the cubs are roaming around a bit more, it’s not unusual to see one cub on its own coming out to look for some food. Yesterday evening, one of them was pottering around on the lawn, initially keeping a […]
