Foxes are silly creatures sometimes…

| October 29, 2010

A few weeks ago I was keeping an eye on one of the local foxes as he appeared to be limping. However, the limp didn’t appear to be stopping him practising his pouncing on (the remains of) one of the toys they had brought into the garden…

Interloper

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 […]

Dinnertime for the fox

| October 4, 2010

As I mentioned, the weather finally improved enough yesterday that I could take some more video of one of the foxes in daylight. Took a while to upload, as it’s almost seven minutes long, but here — enjoy 😉

Countryfile

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 […]

A little more Foxcam

| October 1, 2010

I was really hoping to get some more HD video footage of the foxes to show you, for reasons which will become apparent in a couple of days’ time, but the weather — and indeed the foxes — really haven’t been cooperating. Yesterday was sunny but the foxes didn’t want to show their faces in […]

A new visitor to Fox Towers

| September 17, 2010

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 […]

Wrestling

| September 4, 2010

After several weeks of mostly seeing only one fox in the garden, we seem to have numbers 2 and 3 back as regular visitors, at least when there’s food around. I’m wondering whether someone else locally might also have been feeding them (or other wildlife) and has recently stopped. Yesterday evening all three were chasing […]

The best of friends (ish)

| August 19, 2010

A little more Foxcam footage for you, this evening, from a couple of days ago. The truce between the cats and the foxes really only works if the fox does not try to creep up on the cats; also, the two currently-resident fox cubs do still play with one another — or torment one another, […]

Sharing the table

| August 13, 2010

I happened to glance at some of the Foxcam footage I pulled off the data card yesterday morning, and couldn’t resist putting these two up for you. See what I mean about the cats and the foxes coexisting?

Mum is finally losing her patience…

| June 26, 2010

Today I have another couple of high-definition videos for you (I haven’t forgotten Foxcam, I promise — but I have a huge backlog to look through). The first is the cubs wrestling with one another again — well, two of them are wrestling and the third one just wants his or her dinner! In the […]
