Urban foxes

[Arkle]

One ran across in front of me (less than 5 yards away) not long after I started my walk to work this morning. My intial thought was "Bloody hell, that large cat isn't half motoring" followed by "Ah, it isn't a cat...". Quite surprising to see one close up in semi-daylight hours (it was about tweenty to eight) as I thought they were primarily nocturnal.

I used to live in Poole and it was rife with them down there. Saw them all the time. I think I've only ever seen one in Sunderland. He used to live down the Marina.

Nautical type presumably?

I've only seen a couple down here in Cambridge. This one seemed far larger and less scrawny than the other one. Briefly had me worried about my cat but, doing some reading, fully grown domestic cats and urban foxes tend to coexist quite happily (there was at least one cat sat on a window sill as close as i was anyway).

dog chased one otherday and it ran so far then turned on dog , dog barking at it and heckles up.

see them often in the bins after food (unless there into id fraud) if there after food they don't seem to care, went to garage early for paper and one came running out bush.

See them all the time here (probably because we're in a valley surrounded by the south downs). In fact, me and the mrs saw an adult fox with a very small fox in toe just last night.

Have also seen numerous badgers. One nearly ran straight into me when i walk out of the outlaw's driveway a couple of years back, I shit myself!

See them all the bloody time in daytime down here. One sat on my back wall staring at me through the window at about 2pm on Sunday. They're very timid creatures really, but they don't half make an unholy racket when they're fighting or fucking.

obviously loads in london. i used to watch them cross Euston road all the time. Clever as well dodging the traffic.
Where my auntie lives TW10 (next to richmond park) the bins have metal clips on to stop the foxes getting the lid off to get inside

one strolled down my street in the early hours of the morning in the summer presumably living up tunstll hills somewhere

Saw three in a pub car park in the middle of Portsmouth last week. Think they were having a barney (or they were the fox equivalent of Stephen Cartwright and his missus) cos they disappeared into the beer garden and all hell broke loose with lots of screeching and wailing.
