I thought I had deterred them. Anyway, it came into my garden at dawn

the message at last, "Leave my pond alone"!

Wonderful story in the local rag today. A chap was walking home from
the supermarket when a large fox mugged him for a bread roll. He
expected it to run off as he approached, but it blocked his way in a
narrow passageway and when he threatened to hit it with said roll it
grabbed it and decamped.

Because it has been fed by humans before. I blame Bill Oddie. Foxes should
be afraid of humans and sneak around during the night when our hens are shut
inside instead of getting brave in the day.
