Neighbourhood Fox


Ive seen him twice this week. Once on Tuesday Morning and again about 2mins ago. By the time I grabbed my camera he was away.
Derek cut back all the over grown tree's on Saturday and he's walking along side of our fence where it used to be all over grown.
Quite a scaby looking boy, possibly a bit bedraggled tonight.
I promise I'll ttry and get a photo asap. Also was watching a squirrel earlier.

Re: Neighbourhood Fox


Can't say I'm a lover of foxes. But photos would be good to see.

My OH absolutely loves foxes! Thinks they are one of the most beautiful creatures around.

There used to eb a man made foxes den in one of the gardens at the back of us & one year the cubs used to come & play in our garden each morning. I caught them one day legging it with a lovely new ball-on-a-rope! & a flip-flop!

Re: Neighbourhood Fox


Foxes are becoming urbanized! They're very clever and have adapted well to living in the city...sightings of them in neighborhoods are common. I'm only 2 blocks from the woods and have occasionally seen one strolling down the alley, quite unconcerned...they're beautiful animals. (Not if you have chickens, however!!)

Re: Neighbourhood Fox


There wasa programme on foxes on the telly a few weeks ago anyone recall? it seems that 80% sure thats right of urban/town foxes have mange. And die a terrible death in pain. Poor things they have come into the towns/cities because we leave so much food around.

Re: Neighbourhood Fox


My parents used to have foxes and their babies at the top of their garden years ago, they were awful, mangy looking things.........it's no wonder it spreads around the fox population

Re: Neighbourhood Fox


Kazz, I didn't see that program, sounds terrible. In all I think we have three. I got a really good look at the male last night as he stopped for a pee .
It's a shame really that they have come into towns, out of there natural inviroment. Again us humans are to blame.
