We seem to have fallen into a routine, us and our fox. Every evening we go out into the garden armed with a selection of chicken and eggs for her. And every evening she keeps us waiting!
But she's no fool, she's not going to miss out on a good feed. So sure enough she arrives, vaulting the fence at the rear of the garden, a quick look round to check we're there and then to the bowl. Yes, we're silly enough to feed our fox in a bowl. Usually she… er… wolfs down the chicken herself, and then gently carries the egg away to the cubs. At least we presume she's taking it back to them. A minute or so later she's back for seconds 🙂 But tonight she carried the chicken away for the cubs as well. I'm miffed :irked: Someone else is obviously feeding her as well. But one thing our little experiment has proven is that, for foxes anyway, the chicken always comes before the egg!
Now we've gained her trust, she lets us get closer (well she's no fool), so I got a great close-up this evening.
More foxy news and pix over on my website. It's becoming a daily diary
