As promised, a quick update on the foxes. Both of them showed up tonight after a weekend of complete (visible) absence. The youngster's visit was fleeting and he was gone before I had even thought about the camera.
The older fox stayed around for a few minutes and I had a good opportunity to see how his coat is recovering from the mange. It's doing well, and there's a distinct thin fuzz growing back on his legs. Given a little bit of time, he should be back to his former glory.
No sign of the vixen since the brief sighting a week or so back, but I suspect she's around. If last year's calendar is anything to go by, the cubs will be born in the next couple of weeks. It will be about a month later that they emerge from the earth.
