Seen from breakfast table this morning with the two smaller gears: magpie teasing a young fox: first the magpie sat on a wall and the fox vainly jumped, then the magpie moved to the runner bean post and the fox vainly jumped, then to the greenhouse and the fox vainly jumped, then a repeat of all three before the magpie grew bored and flew off, leaving the fox to saunter onto the bottom lawn where, out of sight of the house it undoubtedly dug holes in persuit of slugs and left a disgusting cr*p. The larger of the smaller gears was chuffed to have seen a fox's face for the first time - he often glimpses a body or a tail but could not remember having seen a face. So cute but argh! the cra*p! and argh! the holes!
