Meet cheeky Master Fox

17/08/2011 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  Leave a Comment

I saw this young lad snoozing in the sun on the bank at the bottom of the garden last summer, so I crept out with a camera. He looked up as I went down the steps, thought of moving, then decided to wait to see what I would do.

I moved gradually closer until I was about 15 feet away at which point he decided that I was harmelss and relaxed. So I took a few pictures and retired – and he went back to sleep!

A few years ago we had a whole family who did not actually live in the garden, but somewhere very close and the cubs had great fun chasing each other round our trees. We have not had as many stopping off this year – although we are still  a ‘through route’ on their nightly travels.

The cats do not actually get this close but they and the foxes seem to live in reasonable harmony, totally ignoring each other most of the time, although on the whole the cats seem to have the last word when it comes to any territorial disputes. A couple of years ago, a friend who was staying heard a horrendous din in the middle of the night and looked out the window to see our smallest, now defunct, rather pretty and lady-like long haired cat, Raggle, sitting half way down the steps to the garden. She was giving a fox, who was at least four times her size, and had obviously been thinking about coming up the steps, a seriously hard time.

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
