Will do, thanks.
The young one first appeared back in December, when the resident male had mange. But he was blinded in his left eye - not sure how, possibly from a cat - and disappeared. I thought that he was gone for good but, about a fortnight ago, he turned up again like a bolt from the blue. It's curious because the mere fact of being here is something of a challenge on his part, yet his behaviour towards the Old Dogfox is overwhelmingly submissive. I wouldn't be surprised if he partially fathered the dominant vixen's litter, though; she's the only fox who seems relaxed around him.
I'm keeping a close watch on the situation to see how it develops.
