Foxes mating quite openly...

Last Monday lunchtime we heard the distinctive screams of a male fox and sure enough we saw this pair in the act of mating by peeping through a knothole in our fence! I had taken my camera with me so was able to capture them...I did feel a bit like a voyeur though!

We had observed these two together for a few days previously as they were regularly transitting our garden. The neighbours, in whose garden they chose to mate, have been trying to keep chickens, a great food source for these foxes it seems as they have bought three lots of chickens and lost them all!!

Happy birding!
