Soaking up the Spring sun



After a cheeky peep at us through the slats of the bench, this young, fearless fox plonked himself (or herself?) down for a sunbathing session and stayed for two hours. Unbelievable! The patio door was open and the creature ignored the sounds of tea-making and clattering plates, and even human voices. The thing that spooked it in the end was a neighbour slamming his garage door. To the fox, it probably sounded like a gunshot! It darted off and shortly afterwards, the sky darkened and heavy rain and hail showers began. Perhaps the fox could sense the approaching weather and scarpered to its earth before it got wet.
