Baby fox in garden

[TopCat]

Baby fox is now chilling in my garden.

I have at least one that's a regular visitor, it's out sunning itself in the garden this morning, shit photo as it's a fair way from the bungalow and it's taken from indoors, if I go out, it just disappears.

A baby fox has just appeared, on its own, in daylight. It's munching on spilled birdseed.

We don't see them that often here although they are about.

Thoughts please.

Acquire a trampoline and a movement triggered camera.

Post footage of cub having a great time.

Urban fox casually walking down the street near to mine in broad daylight, giving zero shits. He was so relaxed he may as well have worn spats & a monocle. Just casually walked around people who were clearly much warier of him.

There’s a few of them around somewhere near.

I think the fox must have come back the other night - I took Frankie out for his late-night walklet and he got really excited by the smells. Thinking about it, the fox is actually quite safe at night here. I never let him out when it's dark because he disappears off into the fields and barks at unidentified things.

An urbane urban fox. The most urban I’ve ever seen was in Blackfriars.

Yeah!

When we had all the cubs a couple of years back we we were treated to a great show one evening:

They'd found an old punctured leather football in our communal garden and all six were running around passing it between themselves from mouth to mouth watched over by their parents who were just sitting there. An absolutely incredible display that went on for nearly 25 minutes. Wow!

The cat by the food bowl is looking at you going "if that fucker comes anywhere NEAR my dinner, he's fucking had it!"

 

[sojourner]

I'm really envious of all of you with foxes in your gardens, I bloody love foxes. We have some in our local park/heathland, that I sometimes go to very early in the morning and that's when you'll see them. I'm always really made up to catch sight of them.

The ears on the one on the right are ENORMOUS!

None of the cubs in our garden had ears anywhere near as big as that. I wonder if it's a slightly different sub-species/variant?

Oh yes, it’sa well known sub species- vulpes wingus nuttus.

dunno - parents seem to be standard foxes. think they sometimes get ears a couple of sizes too big then grow in to them. one a year or two back had a tail like that when they were little.

When we had the six cubs a couple of years back, there was a seventh too but was albino and seemed ostracised by the others and the parents. We didn't see that one much.

From the really hot Summer two years ago, enjoying some water put out for them.

You're a decent sort, Griff. Just wish people would remember that they were there first - and, if we hadn't decided to literally hound them out of the countryside, they'd not have taken refuge in our back gardens in the first place!

What about high hats and narrow collars?

I have been to see mum-tat today.

only one of the foxlets napping anywhere visible. they woke up briefly, moved a bit closer to the house, and settled for another nap. they must be about 4 months old now.

 

[cupid_stunt]

I normally only see one fox in the garden at a time, just spotted three young foxes playing out there.

In our overgrown garden in Brixton

When I was putting food out last night a very young and timid cub popped up. Such a tiny little pointy face.

A vixen has a den under the concrete base of a neighbour's shed in the garden at the end of our garden. Last year she had one cub which had a limp, but it seems to have survived and moved away.
This year she has three cubs which chase each other round our garden. They don't cause any problems and cats avoid our garden which is a plus.

The cubs have grown up. They look healthy and well fed, I guess neighbours have been feeding them. I expect they will be moving out soon.
Mum still watching over them.

They have dug actual trenches across our lawn. No duckboards or sandbags deployed yet, so I hope the little bastards get trenchfoot or cop some shrapnel.
