fox post
o my! as i came here to post links to a few photographs of the poorly fox from last wek, i look up to notice a fox in the garden! i'ts right at the back of the garden[0], obscured largely by the mallow, so i can't make out exactly which fox it is... tho it looks smaller than the others...
and o! it came right down to the trunk that the comfrey grow in, on the paving just outside the house - outside this window - before the lawn... and it came there to retrieve something it'd burried in the past *grin*
and o, such a beautiful young fox! indeed smaller than some of the others, and in seemingly very good condition/health[1]
it looked about and ran about abit, with it's thing, and in the sunshine... until it noticed me watching (and photographing[4]) it, at which point it make a hasty[5] retreat, and disappeared under the fence at the back.
i mentioned photgraphs...
i didn't take many photgrpahs of the poorly fox form last week[6], but here it is on the lawn, and being all itchy and scratchy, and then sitting at the back of the garden. there is also a very short[7] video of it on the lawn.
and here is today's small fox *grin* in the comfrey trunk, wandering off with it's thing, on the lawn with its thing here and here, and on the vegetable patch, just before it got spooked at/by me and disappeared.
[0] where poorly fox hung out a lot last week
[1] so i hope it didn't eat the medicated sandwiches[2] - homoeopathic remedies taken by a healthy being should cause the symptoms that they treat...[3]
[2] it seemed more interested in its bone/whatever.
[3] i didn't get any specific answer to my question from the NFWS as to whether i should target the poorly fox only, and the info they sent was unclear/contradictory in places - i should email them again...
[4] i find myself feeling mixed about photgraphing the foxes - it distracts me from simply watching them, and seems to alert them to me more (my intent/gaze/focus on them? more movement?), but i enjoy posting the pictures here for yous... and yous seem to enjoy that too *smile* and enjoy having a record of them...
[5] and healthy - foxes are right to be wary of humans methinks... not sure how well foxes recognise/differentiate one human from another...
[6] i was trying (and succeeding) not to spook it... and the card in mymouse's camera was getting full.
[7] and shaky - that was me not being able to be still *shrug*
