... 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: http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...okThiefDuo.jpg 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. |
