Leaves Slightly Foxed
For many years I have been going on evening “fox walks”. I find the existence of such large wild animals in our urban midst amazing. Living close to railway embankments, I have seen foxes trotting along beside the tracks to visit the take-aways, returning carrying white bags in their mouths.
Fully grown foxes with bushy tails, scraggy mangy foxes, young foxes with big ears. When you spot them they may be unaware of you or run away. Sometimes they stare back at you and, as you watch them, sit down to wait out your attention.
