Will he or won't he turn up? That's the question this weekend. We haven't seen the dog fox since his second mange treatment last Sunday, and he's due a third tomorrow night. The fairly constant rain and wind no doubt has had an effect. He hates the wind, and I hate the rain so we may simply be missing each other. But at this time of year he tends to be elusive and may have found other hunting grounds. I was checking back through photos from last winter and although he appeared most nights in November, he vanished almost entirely through December and only appeared intermittently after that for a number of months. One other possibility is that he's paying close attention to a vixen as we near the mating season. A handful of sultanas can hardly compete with that!<\/p>\n

On other fronts, I've added a photo of an extremely greedy crow<\/a> in the Flying album. It's been suggested that it could in fact be a raven, but I'm not near expert enough to tell the difference. Ravens would be rare down here though.<\/p>\n

I've also been religiously completing my 365 album<\/a> which is part of a project where so far about 100 contributors are posting a photo a day for a year<\/a>. There are also recent additions to the South Downs<\/a> photos for any tree lovers lurking!<\/p>\n

I just checked outside again and the sultanas have vanished, so one of the foxes is around. I'll be more vigilant tomorrow.<\/p>\n
