Urban Foxes

[dustypuss]

I saw my very first urban fox last night in york city centre.  Do you have many foxes near you?.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah one wees on a neighbours grass and my speyed *** loves rolling in the smell.....

and coming and saying look what I have just done = smell what I have just rolled in

[cashier]

My sister gets them in the garden in Altrincham.

I get a family of foxes every year in my garden. It's lovely to see them. This year's babies seem to have grown up and moved on, now.

I live by the sea, not urban, though.

We put out food every night for 'our' foxes. I love watching them on our CCTV, snaffling up the remains of a Shepherd's pie.

We got them here in East London. In back gardens, the park & on the streets even in daytime.

[dustypuss]

I live in the countryside but somehow never get foxes here.

[Barsel]

dustypuss, foxes find a lot more to do in the urban areas than they do in the countryside.

They hang around the takeaway shops for food scraps.

When I was young and living very close to Birmingham city centre I used to wake up scared to death hearing the foxes screaming.  I was convinced I was hearing a baby in terrible pain.

Now I still get foxes in my garden but I quite like seeing them.  Not so keen on the fox poo, though.

[Barmaid]

I have not seen a fox for about 2 years.  But we live in the back end of beyond and there is so much food available in the fields and woods the foxes do not need to come near the houses.  My neighbour across the road did have an old dog fox go for her chickens in the summer, but nothing since then.

In answer to the OP, yep, we see them all the time here in North Manchester.

I have never seen a Fox.

My brother has visiting Foxes.  He likes the Foxes but not the poo.

He sees some Foxes in  stand-offs with local cats.  The cats are about half their size.  One of them usually sees sense and runs off.I

 

[Cloverjo]

I've never heard our foxes scream. I've seen a bit of poo, but it's not smelly or disgusting.

[Old_Geezer]

See them occasionally. Much though I like seeing wildlife I don't think they should be encouraged to leave their natural rural living areas.

Not seen a Fox sround my area for quite some years, we do have a reasonably healthy population of hedgehogs though

[roopower]

Yes, we have several round us. There's nothing quite like the unholy screeching of a vixen looking for a mate! We have a piece of 'rough ground' near us and they breed there every year. We used to put food out for stray cats, hedgehogs, anything that was hungry and looking out of the window one evening saw a cat eating with a fox waiting patiently in line. Fox picked the dish up and ran away with it, we lost several dishes like that. I expect the Cubs liked the coloured plastic!

[barry1010]

The foxes raid the local crem, I often find little teddies in my garden.  The bereaved complain about theft from graves, and vandalism, but I suspect the foxes are to blame for much if it

[Canary42]

Yes, I have a regular visitor - I think it's a descendant of this one which I snapped several years ago in my garden.

we get loads ,mr mally was napping on sofa woke up and one was sitting in front of the telly ,one walked through our conservatory and sat on my kitchen worktop ,another ran off with  one of my favourite sandals and they use my garden pots as a loo x

[jourdain2]

Yes, quite a few, but we are very rural.  They will struggle this Winter because the local rabbits began dying early in Autumn - an outbreak of myxomatosis.  Rather horrible; stinking corpses lining the lanes and the dogs and foxes wouldn't touch them.

Jan Feb - no those are cats arent  they?  -  and yeah dying child - I was completely taken in
