Gentlemen.
Please try and keep politics away from the forum.

My bad for starting it. 
Just couldn't resist the obvious fox joke. 
Matron has now returned my paint brush and some little guys to keep me better occupied.

Dahlias, tender Salvias all still in flower here, plus a Berberis has got it's Spring flowers going !!! Even my chillies are still growing outdoors. Poor old Mother Nature doesn't know whether she's coming or going .

Can't say I'm totally surprised, Steve.
Nothing similar to report here (yet) but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Huh. Just had a fox appear over the back wall, wander slowly up the garden path, sniff around the bikes and then peer in through the patio doors.

In broad daylight.

Used to seeing foxes as I meander home from the pub of an evening, not so much in daytime.

Anyway, he looked very healthy.

Scarpered sharpish when I stood up, back over the back wall.

Brightened up my day.

Foxes are very visible in an urban environment.  Living in London they regularly visit the garden and enjoy sunning themselves on the lawn.  Drive more than a few hundred yards at night and you are almost guaranteed to see a fox on the road.

It would be a much more reliable source

Had one at end of yard couple of weeks ago. Just as well the allies over road didnt see it, they would have been off like a rocket.

Caught one on the trail camera 4? weeks ago, stealing the food that was intended for the two feral cats.

Not seen it, but there's at least one visiting the field nearest the house.
All three of the mutts are very keen on 'tracking' first thing in the morning.

We see foxes on a regular basis here, often every evening in the Summer as dusk approaches. Sadly loads killed on the local ring road these past few days, given the number of carcasses seen .
