Fox cub

A bedraggled-looking vixen has been scurrying from the cover of the bushes to grab anything we throw out onto the lawn. On Monday night I noticed her teats were swollen and she was obviously feeding a family. Shortly after this observation, a tiny cub tottered out from the bushes and stood in the middle of the garden, gazing curiously at us through the patio doors. It was too dark to take a photo, which makes me think about acquiring an infra red camera to capture nocturnal visitors. Maybe the odd burglar, too!
