Land /Water Wildlife

Vixen was here this morning and looking very well, but there's been no sign of any cubs. Last year they were accompanying her from the beginning of May, and she was definitely lactating earlier in the year. Maybe they didn't survive.
She's just chewing a mealworm in the second pic, not snarling at anything!

 

This is not Regina, we have two animals, this is the one with mange. She is very, very much improved over the last few weeks. The eyes, mouth, and tail are returning to normal. She still has a few bare patches on her side and rump.

 

Yes, her eyes look a lot brighter than in your last image of her hydrogardener.

 

This chap has been turning up at dusk every evening. to eat the food I put out for the fox! And the foxes originally turned up to eat the food I put out for the birds.

 

You need to get them all separate bowls with their names on, you are obviously confusing them all.

 

If I did that, the foxes would carry the bowls away and I'd never see them again.

 

I've just spotted our resident fox with 4 cubs, first time I've seen them.

 

I want to go into town but need to lock the back door first, and doing so will scare her away. So I'm stuck for now!

 

Took these this morning.


Next door neighbours garden.
They blend in really well with that log pile behind them.

 

What a lovely family, they all look well fed and very relaxed in that garden.

 

Through the year there is often a fox or two there on sunny mornings, their garden catches the early sun.
The neighbours are not bothered by them, they dont really "garden" as such just cut the grass, and the foxes dont get bothered, they also have access to the allotment site behind the logs and also the street via their side entrance.

They were there for about an hour before returning to the allotments presumably for a sleep.

 

Picked up a tray of plants on our front steps ready to take to Car-booting look what we found . Must of walked down from our pond up the back , OH soon carried them back.

 

Badger came by before it was properly dark today.

 

Someone's nicked my birdfeeder! It's a little bit of wood with holes drilled for filling up with peanut butter. I make my own filling by pulverising bird peanuts in a nut grinder, and the little birds loved it. But now there is just a string hanging and the feeder is nowhere in the garden. I think it's most likely that the fox made off with it, although there was very little peanut left in it last time I looked. I don't think they or the badger could have got it down though, because there's a big squirrel baffle in the way. It must have fallen or been knocked down by a larger bird first.

 

Ladybirds and what are the white eggs please
