- 14th March 16:10 Disturbed fox in shed when collecting a dry piece of sycamore. It seems it has a den under the wood pile. Seemed small/young.

- 6th October 08:10 Fox eating apples from compost pile.
- 22nd July 14:23 Have one lounging on the grass under the plum tree, also did see one, maybe this one a couple of days ago walking home and crossing the △ yesterday.
22nd July : 14:23
- 16th January 09:45 Sat by the door and saw a fairly large and dark fox go by, towards the gate, then some 2 or 3 seconds later another, slightly smaller with a white under tail and more.
This may be a couple, the larger being male and supports the notion that I seen a different one from the 'friendly' one. The second resembling the 'friendly fox'

It decided to play by picking up my weeding fork and dropping it some three metres away with a fling. Around 10am visited again but throwing some cake wasn't appreciated.

2018 7 Oct: Gavin said he had a brilliant encounter whilst preparing one of the beds in the 'Compost Field' that Vera used afore. 2 Aug: Again whilst cooking the fox wandered up as close as 4m and looked around for about 9 minutes. 20 Jul: Whilst cooking outside a fox came by some 5m away and nosed around. I said hello then it walked on to the apple tree.
2017 10 Aug: Arose to see what was making the noise to find:
2016 10 May: Although I've seen foxes before and on the land, never very close; so it's a bit of a surprise and a delight to have seen one by the caravan. The first time was on I managed to get my old phone to take a snap which only showed a brown blur to the east of the veggie patch. Today however, even though I had to switch my Galaxy S3 on, I managed a dozen snaps while the fox wandered from the same easterly point,
around the south,
up the path
