Foxes

[Herbie]

We have a beautiful family of foxes on our allotment which we often sit and watch. They are often seen wandering the site.

Today ........... I got a fright........ Digging over the beds ............... oh whats that ............. its got feathers.............. dead buried bird.

Our foxes have been burying their dinner all over the site!!
I didn't enjoy the present but still love to watch these beautiful animals.

Anyone else have foxes on their allotments?

Ooh, yes Herbie - usually they stay out of sight but leave 'traces' around the place- and excavations. I did find a skeleton a few years ago - under some carpet that I had left lying around for far too long - they must have made a den underneath - or a larder! Not sure what creature the skeleton was of.

We just have deer, pigeons and hooligans.

we've got foxes, unfortunately someone has been hunting them with dogs over the last couple of weeks (i'm presuming there are cubs about???) so they are making holes in our perimeter fence and trampling over plots as a chicken keeper (at home) i'm not a foxes greatest fan but at the lottie there is nothing for them to harm. We've also got a pheasant & his ladies which we are a bit concerned about as I would imagine the dogs would have these too

We have foxes who get under the fence surrounding the allotment. When we had the snow it was surprising just how many tracks and trails there were - and a couple disappearing under some sheds
I was digging a bed after Christmas last year and got a shock when I dug up some foul smelling pink flesh Then I realised it was the remains of a side of salmon that a fox had buried for a future supper. It smelt so bad that I picked it up on my spade and took it down to the hole in the fence and left it there. Needless to say it was gone the next morning!
