Urban fox
One of my new neighbours has taken to trying to dig its way under my garden
shed - presumably with an eye to giving birth. As the shed is on slabs and hardcore it isn't having much success. It is, however, persistent. I fill in the holes, it digs them out again. I have tried ramming sharp sticks into the ground with some success but the fox is getting desperate & has dug holes for what must be the fourth time in the last month. Any other suggestions that aren't too obtrusive ? |
