A couple of evenings ago I put out the food for the foxes as usual, although the mix was slightly different; peanuts and cheese, as usual, but also a half-pack of crispy bacon that had gone past its best-before date. I had forgotten just how much Lardy Cat likes crispy bacon. Enough, it transpires, to […]

Just a quick post for you this evening – some photos from June 11th when one of the cubs wanted his or her full share of the limelight… Click on any photo to see a larger version, you know the drill by now.

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 […]

I wish I had some video of this particular interaction to share with you, but unfortunately not, you’ll have to picture it for yourselves… In the garden, on the lawn: one of the fox cubs. (This particular cub seems to have taken to hanging out in the main visible bit of the garden during the […]

Today’s photos are from June 9th. Then, as most usually today, one of the cubs was the first one out to check out the food that I’d left out; it’s not always the same cub, mind you. I think they have some kind of rota system organised from behind the bushes; I wonder if they’re […]

A few more photos from the archives for you, today; these are from June 3rd. It was a lovely evening here at Fox Towers, and the vulpine members of the community certainly seemed to be making the most of it.

BBC News has a story of a young fox rescued from the sea off Eastbourne (which has now made a full recovery)

Okay, a little over a month; these photos are from 2nd June, so at the point where the cubs’ fur had stopped being quite so fluffy and had smoothed out a bit, but before they really got to being the lanky teenage foxes that we see at the moment. More photo posts to come over […]

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 […]
