Or to be exact, a pair who have set up home in a tall tree just over our fence. They&#39;re noisy, tolerant of most of the smaller birds, and prone to chasing wood pigeons who try to muscle in on their territory. I can&#39;t photograph the nest (it&#39;s hidden by branches), but there are plenty of opportunities for in-flight shots as they patrol the garden territory.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/crow_1004113982.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/crow_1004113983.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/crow_1004114019.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/crow_1004114035.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>The nightly activity continues, with hedgehogs&#8230;<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/hedgehog_0904113917.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Foxes and hedgehogs&#8230;<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/fox_young_male_hedgehog_0904113427.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/fox_young_male_hedgehog_0904113444.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>There&#39;s even been a couple of fleeting glimpses of a vixen&#8230; she vaulted the fence rather than face the camera!<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/fox_shy_vixen_1004113920.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>What, no badger?
