Life as a fox


Our neighbourhood fox is looking decidedly healthy these days. I originally though he had some sort of nasty mange but have come to realise that he's simply been moulting his winter coat. We recently spotted him with a companion in the neighbour's yard so we're hoping to see a couple of mini-foxes before Summer is done.


Last week we also had a baby seagull learning to fly from a window sill directly below our flat. The poor bird either fell out of its rooftop nest, or boldly decided to give flight a go without success. The young fledging sat on the window sill for two days before finally making it to the ground via a small window-box roof. It was gone the following morning. We suspect our fox friends enjoyed a gourmet meal overnight.
