First fox!

[Fieldfare95]

Driving home today at about half seven I saw my first ever fox. It had just crossed the road a few metres in front so we stopped the car and it just sat at the side of the road, directly looking at us for a couple of minutes. It was absolutely gorgeous and we got a real good look, before he tottered away over the field. It was a really nice encounter and I just couldn't believe it!

Probably on his way to the nearest chicken pen to creat mayhem.

Congrats, Fieldfare. Hope you see a few more.

Yesterday my wife & I went to a garden centre looking form some pots. We were walking around as you do, and we spotted a fox casually ambling through a load of potted trees. We followed him, and he curled up between rows and settled down for a snooze in the sun.
If only I'd had the camera, eh.

Brilliant news, I hadn`t seen one for years & then saw one again last Autumn & again (different location) in the winter.

Dave.... it`s always the way

I know I shouldnt but I do feed a fox who waits at a certain time for me..
I shine a torch in the dark and he pops his head round the hedge so I can see him and lets me know he is there.

He loves cheesy pasta yet hates macoroni cheese.
He doesnt like Winalot yet likes Pal.

Everyone has likes and dislikes I guess!

Fieldfare, that's great. I bet you see them all the time now!

We have a lot of foxes round our way and you do see them very often but usually from a distance and they don't hang around. This is because they are usually shot at if they show themselves and as for sticking their heads up if you shine a torch, not a chance. I was speaking to a farmer last year who had shot 24 foxes during the spring and he still had a problem with them. Makes you wonder how many are out there.

My fox knows Im looking for it,,it knows when I see it I feed it see. So it lets me know its there.
Luckily there are no farmers near here so its perectly safe.

Thanks for the replies everyone
Will have to keep my eye out for him along that road. He was a lovely animal but I was quite surprised at how small he was, just like a small dog really, I expected them to be bigger.

Hi Fieldfare95, I hope that one day you have the chance to get near to some cubs, They are so nice, tiny and playfull, just how people can go cubbing i do not know, my wife hangs up bonios from strings just so she can sit and watch them play.
