Fox

[IR35 Avoider]

Half an hour ago, I opened my garage door from the inside, to see a young fox sat about 10 feet from the door looking at me.

I went into the house to get my camera, and took several pictures of him. He seemed failry indifferent to me, though I stayed 10 to 15 feet away so as not scare him off.

I've often seen foxes in the middle of London, including at the end of my street (10 minutes walk west from Tower Bridge on the North side of the river) but this one was the second-most brazen. He only had me, one or two pedestrians and a brown and white cat to ignore. The most brazen one I ever saw was walking along the pavement near St Paul's Cathedral, amidst a scattering of City pedestrians, at about 6:30pm on a summers evening.

My uncle used to have a fox that he put food out for in his back garden - it was his pet fox and 'stayed' with him for years.

At least he's safe now all the toffee-nosed, chinless, in-bred twonks can't hunt him anymore.

Just once more for old times sake eh?

In the City or in the country, foxes are still vermin that needs to be controlled.

What is wrong with having a bit of fun while doing pest control?

There's three hedgehogs within 500 metres of our house. Unfortunately, they're all squidged on the road, but I'm taking this to mean that there are loads and loads of hedgehogs rather than that those were the last three in town and they've all been wiped out.

Sorry, was probably my Hummvee on the way to drop little Tarquin off to school.

My brother killed a fox a bit ago when he thought a stray dog was in his bins. He went out only for it to dart into the shrubs at the end of his garden.

So he picked up a brick and lobbed it into the darkness. The next day he could see a fox motionless wearing a brick on its head.

He also hit one in his land rover a short while earlier. He was pegging down the road and this mangy thing came running out in front of him. He said you could hear a bong as its head met with the underside of the car. The a couple of days later he was driving around the same area when he wife pointed out a fox at the side of the road with part of its head missing but still alive and walking. I guess that one must have died soon after though.

I find that hedgehogs aren't very good sport. A bit too easy to shoot, really.
