Urban Fox update (2) Southmead

 I received an email from a lady in Southmead who had been having foxes visiting her garden over a period of two years! I was invited over to see if I could capture any images of them for my book next year.

As I sat drinking a lovely cup of tea in her kitchen in pitch black waiting for the cheeky fox to apear I had a good feeling tonight I would get some images.

As we sat looking into the garden I was told that the light out the back of the house in the drive area is triggered by movement and would come on when a animal was in the area. Handy for her when she is watching East Enders when  the light comes on she rushes in to the kitchen and watches the fox.

Above pic: is the view from the window looking out to where the foxes can be seen.

Once the light had faded  we sat and waited for the fox to turn up I was told he was here between 9-10pm every night! The time now was 945 and not a single animal has been in the garden!

Above pic: The light has been triggered by movement its only a matter of time now.

As I sat looking out of the window hoping a fox would a appear the securty light came on! Eurika! I was thinking about time too!

As we both Squinted and looked out the window  we saw an animal slowely make its way slowly into the light!

Its was a bloody cat!

The cat stayed and finished off the food which was left for the fox and then disappeared back into the dark!

That was it for me. I was off back home. No foxes but I did have a lovely cup of tea tho.
