Rainy Day Fox

The heavy rains across southern England have continued for much of today. There are occasional breaks, and tonight has been unexpectedly clear. We’re fortunate not to have seen too many problems caused by the rain (we’re up in the hills, which helps) but there is undoubtedly disruption in lower lying areas and the risk of more problems over the coming days. Along the coast in Hastings, a large section of cliff gave way. No-one was hurt but it’s a timely reminder of how unstable things can be.

Back home the foxes just seem to get on with it, but then they are among the most adaptable creatures on the planet. In previous years it’s been rare to see much of the foxes over winter months, but Pretty is here most days. These photos were taken earlier this evening.

Passing Badger

Along with the foxes that use the garden at night, a badger has been an irregular visitor through the winter. Here are a couple of photos caught on the trail camera.

And while I’m here, one of the foxes (not Pretty this time) seen during the day on New Year’s Eve.

It’s very wet and windy outside as I write this, and there’s more heavy rain on the way.

First Fox of the Year

The New Year brought with it a day of constant, heavy rain… and, earlier this evening, a fox. Of course it’s Pretty. She was the mainstay of 2013 and, unusually for a juvenile, seems to have clung on to the garden as her territory into the new year.

I expect we’ll be seeing a lot more of her in 2014!
