There are currently four adult foxes, three females and a male, all related to a grandmother who is no longer with us. Of these foxes, one is now the aunt of three others. Confused? We are too...

One of these younger ones one had six cubs in the spring of 2024,  of whom three have survived and are doing very well.

While the foxes tend to be shy of the general public there is usually one in each generation who prefers snacks over stealth; this year we have Jack, the current mother. We've watched her taking dog biscuits to her cubs, one of whom is now also serious snack fan. She is called Pixie and is currently fighting off her two siblings (and occasionally the two adults here) to maximise her biscuit intake.

Here are just a few of the  shots taken over the last couple of years.
