The fox is strikingly lovely. He stopped to pose for our guests last week, just across the road from Blackberry cottage. They grabbed the camera, and grabbed the shot.
They saw him again, about an hour later. This time, it was a fortunate sighting for us -- since Reynard was at the gate of the resort, with an assessing eye on the chickens.The fox has been good at Snatch and Grab raids this year, so we do have to keep a close eye on the free-ranging chickens, and be sure they are enclosed when nobody is around. On this day, we were all lucky, because Gunni and Margaret were able to shoo him away. And get the photo!
We don't mind the fox. But he'd better not have a feather in his mouth, or our attitude changes rapidly.
One would turn up at my parent's place on occasion. They'd hear a yelp, and see the fox getting chased by the cats.
ReplyDeleteOh, we do hope you won't take serious measures to "get rid" of him! He/she was such a beautiful creature...
