New computer problems

After a complete computer failure several weeks ago I was advised that it would be more economical to have a new one rather than attempt to repair it. This I did and I have been off line ever since. After much investigation over many days I have finally managed this post (I hope). I am sorry that I have been unable to reply to your posts. I hope that I will be able to return to normallity very soon. Mike.

Foxes in the garden

Once again my infra-red cameras did me proud and worked well while I was asleep. This is Mum just about to tuck in when she suddenly realized she was being watched.

But she need not have worried it was only Junior having a lay down while waiting his turn at the food.

All quiet again

After the incident of the other night all seems to be back to normal. Here are the pair of them enjoying their supper. Mum doesn't seem to be around, I am wondering if she is occupied with another family problem.

Ghost in the garden

I put the infra-red camera out as usual still not having the chance to go out and do some real photography. I am not getting much in the garden at the moment so I was rather surprised to get these photo's.

This is Beatie an old dog fox  who visits most evenings and I got several shots of him behaving rather oddly.

  A couple of shots later I got this one with something flying over his head. It did not occur to me what it was until a couple of shots later when I realised it was Junior making a rapid entry. The suddeness of the entry frightened Beatie and it took him about 10 minutes to get over it.

Friends

Every night these two turn up for thier supper. They arrive at about the same time as the other and share the meal I put out for them.

 This has been going on for a couple of months. I used to have two badgers, three foxes and four hedgehogs but a couple of disturbances have scared the others off, but these two don't seem to scare easily.

 As you can see they share the food quite happily. I did think the hedgehog was scared and would run away but no if the fox arrives first the hedgehog will trot up later and join the fox.

They definately enjoy each others company and will meet up again in the early hours of the morning, sometimes in daylight.
