Watch out there's a fox about - at any time !

Hi

I was packing my Camper Van to come down to Netley yesterday - 11.55am it was.

I thought what's that behind me? Turned around and it was a fox strolling past me without a care in the world.

He went round the corner of the Barn and that was that.

However I had my Chicken in the Garden, couldn't have been more than 10 meters from the Fox. Luckily he obviously had something else on his mind.

So just a warning really. Foxes are not just night time creatures, they're out and about when they want to be and although your Chickens may be free ranging because you're around doesn't mean it's 100% safe.

I remember a few years ago being at one end of the garden and at the other end I saw a Fox pop out the Stinging Nettles, grab one and he'd gone.

Not scaremongering, just a reminder.

The reason my girls can never free range is Mr. Fox sits on the old chair outside their house most of the time cleaning and snoozing, totally unafraid of me!
