We’ve been enjoying watching the antics of the young fox family living in our neighbourhood. They love the back flower garden, which is gated and locked and thus kept safely a dog-free zone. Oh the vulpine bliss!

This year the young family have two young cubs, who have yet to grow into their big ears and long legs. Asleep with limbs stretched out on the grass of the downstairs neighbour’s yard, the young fox cubs look a little like miniature kangaroos.

The adults this year are very very vocal. There are verbal fox fights most nights.
