RE: The greens of Spring

Thank you 😊
That's a compliment coming from you cos I know this is your area of expertise.
Yeah, it's a lovely private garden and I particularly love it when the foxes come through the hedge for food and sunbathing when they think no one is around:)))

Sort:  

That would be really neat to see a fox in there. I've never seen one up close in the wild. It's always from far away or such a brief encounter that I barely get a look at them

Oh, Gill has not seen many foxes recently, but usually, they come out in the middle of the night to collect food that she leaves for them.

About 10 years ago I came to collect mail when Gill was away on a long cruise. A fox came in the daytime and he stretched and relaxed on the garden furniture for about an hour. I made sure not to let him see me, as it was so much fun to watch, and I got the feeling that the fox knew that Gill was away and he probably came over every day.😁

Leicester is known for foxes (hence the Leicester Foxes football team). Occasionally you might see them in the town.

Oh she feeds them. That's funny. That would be neat to see it in the backyard. Did you do a post on that one time? It's sounds kind of familiar

Gill says that the mother fox will collect the carcasses from her roast chicken and take it back to her family.

No, Hive didn't exist in those days. I'm hoping that I'll see a fox, but I just realised that I didn't leave any food out. I also forgot to leave food for the birds and a few magpies came to the feeder expecting food.
I better get my act together 😆

Yes, Gill leaves food out for everything including rats.

The rats are what I'd be afraid of

Exactly! For everyone, but not Gill 😏
