Fox in our garden on the 24th June 2016 Catcing a daytime glimpse of wildlife in the local area is always a thrill but this afternoon we noticed a lot of noise at the bottom of the lake field, and saw there was a full grown adult fox running across the field, (next to my hen paddock) and there was a group of around 6 magpies and 2 crows mobbing the fox as it ran. This is something I have never seen before but as its the time of year when the young fox cubs are growing fast I think that the fox is getting daring and desperate for an easy meal. Foxes are nocturnal and it is unusual to see them in broad daylight. We know that they are a frequent visitor to our garden, and the picture above was taken at night a few days ago with the fox clearing up left over bird seed and peanuts spilled by the rampant squirrels! I often tell our guests it you want to see wildlife then all you have to do is sit quietly and something will appear, especially as the yurt field with is lake is where the local wildlife such as the badgers, foxes and deer come to drink.
