pinching all the food! at about 7.50 this morning my son called me to see the foxes in our garden. they looked like a vixen and dog the one being noticable bigger than the other. they were having great fun in the snow , chasing each other jumping over each other it was lovely to watch

but I need to feed the birds before leaving for work so as I stepped out they ran off, I fed the birds returned to the house only for my son to say I think the foxes think they're birds.

not grat quality photo through window and foxes quite a way up the garden. Did video them too but unsure how to put that on thread.... anyway don't al;ways blame the starlings

What a lovely animal to have in your garden.
I guess its the fat balls that they are after or are they eating the seeds and nuts.
If you put some feed out for them they will more than likely become regular visitors.

that was a mix of seeds and added currents but they cleared the lot. I have been leaving some of my dog Benji's food out at night and fat scraps. so hope they have cubs some of the noises over the last few weeks would suggest they are a pair.We had a family 2 years ago fingers crossed
