Very lucky and fortunate to get one in your garden. Have only ever seen them in the field behind my garden about 100 metres away. Maybe one day. Good pics.

Thanks for the positive coments

No - we don't put food out as that attracts rats. We live in the centre of town with a main road in front of the house and an industrial park behind us. Yet we still see urban foxes and have bats hawking over the garden on summer evenings. Plenty of birds and insects too. The way to get wildlife in your garden is to provide a totally chemical free environment with plenty of cover and native plants. A pond is essential too.

We have foxes nearby but only on a couple of occasions have i seen them in the garden.I was hoping the food put out for the hedgehogs may attract the odd one but alas not so far.
Youre very lucky having foxes visit, and even luckier being able to get good daylight pics of them

I hear them at night, mostly, and occasionally spot one running across the street of an evening. Just once, I saw one sunning itself in the garden quite happily for a while in the daytime. But I didn't have any luck taking pics, as soon as I started to open my upstairs window it scarpered. You're lucky to get such good pictures!
