    Hey, what a great snap. Did I miss something - like why you have a fox woo? I think foxes have such beautiful faces, so refined.

    Hi woo. Some places in Germany have problems with this sort of thing too. Berlin has wild pigs running through the streets and breaking into peoples gardens. Of course, not all over Berlin, only in certain districts. We had a programme on TV last year (I think) showing the problems in various places over here. Somewhere else had racoons making themselves at home in attics. There was even a scene where they came down the stairs and out of the door! The lengths people were going to in an attempt to keep the animals out of their homes and gardens, very often to no avail. As much as I love animals, I am glad that we do not have that problem in our town. Hope that you manage to keep ahead of your foxes.

    I have Urban foxes, somebody feeds them, so we have holes dug in my veggie plots and rats feeding on the leftovers. Think about the consequences for others, before feeding urban foxes
