A bit OTT I know - but I've never seen the fox during the day. It's
just done a daring daylight raid taking all the bread that was on the
floor before legging it.

Is it very abnormal to see them during the day?

Unusual but it does happen. I've seen them dash across a lane here a few
times and Ray tells me there used to be a big old dog fox that sat at the
top of the field behind us, just watching everyone.

There used to be an old one that wondered around the car park where I
worked.
It and others lived under a wooden prefab building.

There's a spinney at the top of the back field and a large pine wood a bit
further away, so I imagine they like those for shelter.

We see them all the time these days. Yesterday we saw our first
hedgehog in the garden after some 20 years or mo great celebration!
This afternoon my husband looked out of the window to see the fox
galloping off with what looked very much like a rolled-up hedgehog :-(((

Oh dear! Well, at least you know why you haven't seen hedgehogs for a long
time! My daughter, who lives a few hundred yards from us gets them all the
time but we rarely see them. I just wonder if that's because it's easier
for badgers to get into our garden than hers.

The milkman says he does see badgers around here very early in the
morning, though we've never seen them. I just hope that if there was one
hedgehog, it wasn't the only one!
