Keep your Hands off our foxes
Foxy Lady | March 18, 2011
Conservative MP Greg Hands is at it again, in his ongoing attempt to have foxes reclassified as vermin so that councils would be able to organise culls. Hands originally asked much the same question in 2006 (and indeed he received much the same answer). At present, there is nothing stopping individual landowners dealing with “problem […]
Living the high life
Foxy Lady | February 24, 2011
Fox found living at the top of the Shard skyscraper (from BBC News) We’re in a bit of a holding pattern here at Fox Towers, waiting to see if we’ll be hosting a family of cubs this year; there are plenty of foxes still visiting the garden for food, and one of them was sunbathing […]
Discouraging foxes
Foxy Lady | February 11, 2011
Should you want to discourage foxes from entering your garden, there are many ways of doing so. The Fox Project has a list of many of them (under their “Deterrence” heading).

The Bad Witch has been fox-spotting in her garden — at this rate I’ll be subcontracting the writing of this blog to her (Although I think she is being a little optimistic about one of the foxes being noticeably pregnant; it’s a bit early for that, yet. We’ll probably find that said fox has been […]
Odds and ends
Foxy Lady | January 14, 2011
I know, I know, a bit quiet here at Fox Towers lately. The humans are getting back into work, and the foxes… well, they’re definitely still visiting the lawn for their dinner, although I’m not sure we have any in residence just now; they’ve not been leaping out of the bushes as soon as the […]
Foxes eat too much junk food
Foxy Lady | December 18, 2010
With a hat tip to @jamesgraham on Twitter, foxes are now apparently eating too much junk food…
More adoptable foxes…
Foxy Lady | December 14, 2010
Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue, who are based in Camberley in Surrey, have let me know that they too have adoptable foxes available. I’ve added them to the list…
A furry gift for the festive season
Foxy Lady | December 13, 2010
We are moving in to what is, in some circles, known as the Primary Gifting Period (according to Bill Bailey, anyway). If you’re me, that means a reasonable amount of time racking your brains as to what to buy the person who seems to have everything — or, worse, the person who says “Oh, I […]
