Foxy Lady | May 9, 2010
The cubs have still not learned that you Do Not Mess With Hedgehogs. I dare say they will figure it out sooner or later…
Garden Fox Watch
Watching a family of foxes growing up in my back garden.
Not even the foxes like the rain
Foxy Lady | May 8, 2010
Today was a damp and unpleasant day; we didn’t see the foxes in daylight at all, they only came out after dark…

The BBC have some pictures of a baby fox being rescued from a watering can. Luckily, not one of ours!
Overnight 7th – 8th May
Foxy Lady | May 8, 2010
Just a little more Life With The Foxes for you today. A pleasant dinner was enjoyed and a dandelion very thoroughly investigated…
Smell the flowers along the way…
Foxy Lady | May 7, 2010
I don’t know what the dandelions in my garden have done to deserve it, but the foxes suddenly seem very interested in them!

(As usual, click on any photo to enlarge it, and click anywhere on the resulting larger photo to close it again.)

Again, the cubs are learning how to deal with hedgehogs… or how not to deal with them: MEMO To: Fox Cubs From: Foxy Lady Don’t pounce on the hedgehog. You won’t enjoy it. Really. FL

Foxy Lady | May 6, 2010
The cubs and their mother were, once again, quite visible during the evening of 5th May. They enjoyed a pleasant dinner on the lawn and then a little light playtime…
Evening of the 4th
Foxy Lady | May 5, 2010
