| | | urban foxes watch me!
We've had foxes on wasteland immediately behind our garden for the 40yrs we've been here and thus many fox generations.
In recent years they've been getting our food scraps thrown nearby and I imagined I was doing so without the foxes knowledge - not so as below! Recently aware they await my appearance and are out their den the moment I retreat and lock our gate 
At night, via my Aldi IR nightsight, their eyes can be seen at 100 yards and fun to watch. All are currently in good condition and mange-free

Maybe they're staking out and are planning on raiding your house. Don't leave your windows open or they might eat you!  |

Great story, nytecam  What a beautiful and healthy looking specimen too
[I think hctdude was only joking - said in light of the many sensationalist anti-fox scare stories hitting our headlines these days] |

Sorry I was only joking
I'm not a fox hater, but I do find them very annoying when they're mating outside your window and making all sorts of racket!
Are they common round your area nytecam?
