A Fox In The Garden At Night Time
This is a roundup of a couple of things from the last week or so.
We’ve had a trail camera set in our garden since we moved in. It’s a good way to find out what’s “in” our garden when we’re not around. We’ve had the usual mix of neighbourhood cats, pigeons, nice and then last week a fox. It’s been back a few times since, it seems we’re on it’s usual “rounds”. It doesn’t seem to spend much time in our garden more as if it’s just passing through.
We don’t plan on actively feeding it and it hasn’t so far at least, helped itself to anything in the garden. It’s possible that it has an earth nearby, there’s plenty of space where it could den undisturbed, whether or not we might see cubs at a later date it’s hard to say.
Our camera isn’t one that we can watch live, I have to swap out a memory card whenever I want to view the footage, which I do on a fairly ad-hoc basis, although I’ve realised that Ruby our dog is a pretty good detective in terms of being able to tell me whether or not we’ve had a visitor.
Hopefully we might get some more footage in due course.
Lots of butterflies about at the moment. The original “butter-coloured fly” the Brimstone and this gorgeous Speckled Wood are regular sightings along with Peacocks.
Thanks for reading.
