Dancing with wolves? Pah! Boring! Walking with Foxes!

Left a friend's house tonight at 1135 and walked the grounds of the old 'looney bin' at Moneyhull Brum. I got a feeling of not being alone so I stood and went silent. Fox, OK, carried on walking and the wee critter walked with me about 2 metres away as far as the main road (1/2mile) where we parted company. good feeling and a top end to the day.

It is nice when wildlife is still wildlife but you get these companionable moments

i had a fox do that once.... only if i ran it ran and if i stopped it stopped. It would do it every time i was in the area, often coming out of nowhere and following. Occasionally rather playful if a little intimidating - withnessed said fox trying to get at someones feet once.

What te fox was doing to fet was remarkably similiar to this Coyotee

Nicest I have seen, we used to have a gas street light next to an old wooden building used as a council office, the building was taken down and the lamp converted to electrickery. One night I just stood and watched as a Fox leapt and bounded in the circle of light (no other lighting around so quite dark) as it chased and caught moths, it was akin to a ballet.
