Who's been sleeping in my garden?

I've only ever seen one at a time in the garden Toggle. I think this one may have taken up residence in a gap between two parallel fences just behind the plants in the background of the pic. There are quite a few around though.

Lovely pic AJ, that is the one thing I really miss now that I live "in the country"....no foxes!!!!!!!!! very few rabbits!!!!!!!! the whole area seems to be devoid of four footed wildlife, except badgers.

Probably down to the activities of the "Rambo" types who drive around the fields at night with red lights "shooting vermin"

 

Crazy setup, release hundreds of worthless pheasants and then shoot the foxes because they are partial to a free meal.

 

Yep you're right, I am fast becoming an anti where it involves shooting the indigenous species to protect an introduced one.

Here's a fox I photographed in June 2002 in Ontario, Canada, east of Lake Superior.

 

 

I was staying at a fishing lodge with friends when this mangy-looking thing strolled in out of the woods. He looked like he led a hard life.

We had one come round at my grandads fishing camp in northern Wisconsin when I was about 8. Would come up and take the fish scraps right out of your hand. Clearly someone had been taking care of it.

 

I saw one running the river last fall a few days after the hunt.. They obviously didn't get him.

 

Nice picture AJP. He wouldn't last long around here I think.

They're a bit of a pest around here. Good job we have wheelie bins now instead of plastic sacks. Their pi$$ and $h!t doesn't half stink

[jeepster]

our cockerel has recently lost his tail in a scrap with something, not sure if was a fox or the jack russel! whilst i do have a soft spot for foxes, it would be nice to not have to worry about leaving the chickens out

[Guest Ferret1959]

Ah well a couple of weeks and the hunt will have it.

Only if the hunt don't get banned that is.

[Lid]

Hunts don't control foxes, otherwise they'd have nothing to chase!

 

Nice photo ajp.
