I has one fox a few weeks ago, now I have a pair. Last week on two
successive days they were out and about in daylight in clear view.

They are lovely animals:

Sorry about the quality but a really big lens would be required to
do
much better.

Like snakes there is a limit to how tolerant you can be even if they
are cute. A neighbour has lost two ducks and six chooks.

Both days I sent to pups after them. Leila went along for the fun
of
it but Flynn was deadly serious, chasing flat out into the gully. I
couldn't see what happened but there was quite some high pitched
squealing so either he caught one or it was very close and the fox
was
in a panic and ummm shall we say soiled itself. Flynn came back
looking very smug.

They haven't reappeared in daylight since and the swamp hens and
herons are about in the vicinity so they may have decided they don't
like my place so much. Good boy Flynn!

They are indeed gorgeous looking things, but then I haven't lost a
chook
to
one for a while so I can say that with some equanimity. I am
positivley
murderous when they kill my chooks and have been known to do nasty
things
to
get rid of them.

I feel the same way about snails and slugs.


You must have very slow chooks.

You must be thinkin' Stellaria media, chookweed.

Billy in Oz Chooks equals Chickens. But a lot in Oz are being perverted to
calling their chooks chicks...


Then there are those who called their chicks chooks...

Hold me, I think the room is beginning to rotate.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
