Is this a fox's tail in my garden?

I've just seen this tail in my garden and it looks to me like it belongs to a fox. We certainly get foxes in the garden, but there is no evidence of the rest of it, or any other animal nearby. It's about 20cm long. 

Is this perhaps a consequence of a fight between two foxes? Or is it from another animal entirely? I live in Brighton so I can't imagine there are a lot of other options! Would love to hear if anyone else has seen this before.

    I can't imagine many other options either. It may be from road-kill and something else has brought it into your garden and dropped it.

    Yes looks like it-very curious. If it has any bearing on the question at this time of year including now, my vixen has the end of her tail stripped of fur, don't know why and it grows fur again later maybe something to do with mating?

    I’ve just found something similar today I work at an outdoor site called conkers Leicestershire and found this sticking up out the ground initially I thought it was a fur hood from a coat but after using a stick to dig it out turned out to be a tail I believe a fox
