• 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'

• 27th June : 10:32 Sadly hearing a squawking pheasant I rushed out to chase it away and inadvertently scared away the fox :(
• 26th June : 16:45, Met up whilst I was mowing the grass by the wagon, it showed interest. I stopped and it came up to with a couple feet. It went away and came back some minutes later
• 21st June : 17:14 As I open the door of workshop, I saw the fox duck under.
• 5th June : Morning The fox walked up to within a foot of me, I think it was going to sniff me but I moved my head to look at it better so it moved back a bit.
  

  

• 4th June : 09:00 Looks like a young fox. It was happy enough to approach, but twitched when I opened the door. 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.

25 May: Fox walked by as I was about to do some washing. I stopped but the fox just ambled on. It seems the fox is more accustomed to my presence that I am to its.

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.

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, into the bin area and up through the hedge to the adjacent field.

Given the concern about Asian Hornets, I am logging sightings of 'hornets'.

There have been hornets for the last decade or more and they seem pretty harmless, noisy, and hence a bit of a concern but not threatening.

• At least half a dozen around though they could be the same ones and only one or two. June: I stopped up a gap in the eves with wire wool when I heard a load buzzing about my head. It took a while to discover what the noise was. I an concerned about insects building nest in the the wooden structure that a) may lead to dampness and rot and b) may then eat the decaying wood.

2024

• So far I have found 1 dead in each of the wagon and the workshop.
• Two sightings buzzing around.
