Fox Cubs on my Doorstep




Five minutes walk from my house I have discovered an Fox Earth in a field. I watched 5 cubs outside the earth this week playing. The sheep in the field have taken an instant dislike to them and take great enjoyment in chasing their neighbours back into their hole.

Recent sightings


Its amazing how quickly time flies and one can get behind on maintaining a Blog. This was never going to be a daily affair, but I had hoped this would have been at lease monthly. 12 months on even that has failed. I dare not promise greater regularity in case I fail once again.

Nevertheless here we have a photo of a new mammal I have recorded down the Mill. Seen in late February this Weasel caught my eye. It was obviously out foraging and I startled it. It dived into a hole in a tree and then waited for me to leave, keeping a curious eye on me.
