Foxes Full Of Beans
This morning brought another snowstorm and with it the best ever garden fox watching extravaganza.
Our vixen was full of high jinx tiddling about in the snow, burying scavenged bread under the snow and flinging something into the air and playing with it. She was disturbed a few times by an inconsiderate human who kept opening the window to see better... pfffft! Our vixen also involved herself in a game of tag with a crow and two magpies which she lost gracefully.
A little while later her mate arrived on the scene and we witnessed over an hour of high spirits as they chased each other back and forth and rough and tumbled in an extended mating ritual. Most of the time they were far too fast for my brain camera connection and I am now thinking that instead of a spangly new camera, I'd like a TV camera instead
Here's the best snippets of the day, but the day isn't over yet!
