We didn't see any cubs during April, although towards the end of the month we could begin to hear them. In the early part of the month the old dog fox visited and I've included a few photos in this month's selection which show how well he is recovering from the mange.

The main fox to feature is the young male (son of the old dog fox, and born in March 2006). As you'll see he took to spending a good deal of time on a local roof, which led to us naming him 'Roofy'. He's the father of the cubs featured in coming months, but during April (by which time the cubs were born) he was clearly seeking a quiet refuge during the day. The local rooftops seemed the perfect place (though occasionally he upset the seagulls).
