I just saw a fox in my back garden, failing to catch a pigeon for it's breakfast. For all I have often seen foxes on the way home, this is the first time I've seen one in the garden, and it didn't care that I saw it, it peered back at me inside the kitchen, and continued to walk along the fence towards me. It was actually quite a healthy looking bugger, the few foxes I've sen up close before, have been a bit on the skinny and mangy looking side, this one seemed to be pretty stout and well fed, with a thick coat, which it needed considering the thin layer of snow on the ground.
