We've had foxes visiting our garden for some time. We knew they were around again recently. The next door garden has gone wild, so they can hide in there. Last night we had a visit from a cub. It was pretty timid, but hung around long enough for me to get a picture. No sign of the parents this time. We found a dead one in the garden last year. It must be a tough life for them.
This was a previous visitor a few years ago. It spent a while jumping around the lawn. Obviously found something of interest there. It may have been after worms.
Before next door got totally overgrown we got to see a litter of four cubs being raised. They would play in a clearing and we could watch from our bedroom.
I know foxes are considered a pest by some, but we've had not much trouble with them. One did go for a chicken when they were out once, but just got some feathers. They don't seem to try and get into the chicken run and we keep watch when we let them out. The probably help control the local rats and mice, but they will have competition from all the cats around here. Those prey on birds too. There do seem to be less birds around the garden in recent years, but we have robins, blue tits, doves and blackbirds nesting here this year.
We're not feeding the foxes as we don't want to encourage them to get too tame.
