Black Tail

Of all the young foxes we have visiting, there is one who stands out. We’ve called him Black Tail, after his magnificent dark brush. He’s a tall young fox, and very elegant. He’s also well-behaved and quite bold. I suspect he may be developing a wider range than the other foxes as he frequently disappears down the side of the house, rather than retreating to the rear of the garden.

    Looks very “athletic” for a fox, no wonder he is a dominant one in a group 🙂

      Just catching up! Yes, he was definitely boss, but also the first the disappear as autumn arrives. Odd, but I guess he will be more confident about taking new territory.
