Fox keeps me going

Junior calls just after night fall every night without fail. He comes into the garden through a gap in the hedge. He stands for a moment to check it is safe for him.

He then picks up mouthfulls of biscuits and trots off to feed his family.

Returning sometime later he tucks in himself and then has a rest while watching passing people and traffic the other side of the hedge.

When it gets a bit too noisey with people returning from the pub he will lie in the long grass under the fruit trees. He never runs away, I think he feels protected in my garden. I look forward to his visits as I do not get out much anymore it makes me feel satisfied that I am doing my bit for nature.
 

Foxes again

Taking care of Jacque's health problems over the years has not been very stressful but now I have reached the age were everything is hard going so having to limit my energy expenditure I am glad I have these animal friends that visit me especially when I am relaxing indoors. The above picture is of Junior relaxing after supper about midnight.

He is getting a bit cheeky, when I put the food out one night as I walked back to the house I turned to see him following me. He stopped and I took this picture.

This is a new kid on the block, one that I have never seen before. I have recorded six animals over the past year and I think that there is some youngsters on the way.
