Urban Wildlife Jottings

As wildlife author and environmental educator I get to visit many habitats from coastline to countryside. However, our own gardens and surrounding urban habitats provide surprising opportunities for wildlife watching both large and small. You can also make small changes to your garden to attract even more wildlife. This weblog is a record of my observation which I hope you will enjoy and also encourage you to take a closer look at your own local patch, I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

Churchyard Foxes

I visited our local churchyard to have a look at the foxes I had heard about apparently there are six altogether. Unfortunately people have been feeding them dog biscuits and they have become very tame.

They keep coming up to people to see if they have food. I am a bit concerned that someone will get bitten, as they appear tame and if someone without food tries to stroke them, they may get bitten. Then of course who will be to the blame, the foxes.

The one I saw was beautiful. A selection of my photographs below, enjoy.
