I saw a dead fox on the side of the road the other day. It had been hit by a car, but was still very much together. It was, sadly, the first fox I'd seen in a very long time.

Now and again, I get to see foxes out the window where I work. Largely because the grounds are populated by cwute ickle delicious bunnies.

Foxes long ago stopped being special in SW London - I see two or three a week and the fuckers keep me awake with their hideous howling.

with a jetpack of course!

My parents' milkman now refuses to leave eggs on the doorsteps as he has witnessed foxes following his milkfloat down the street and eating the eggs as he leaves them.

Dave Stelfox and the Pinefox, where are you?

sunning themselves on roofs most probably!

Or picking feathers out of their teeth...

Amazing how many animals are adapting to urban and suburban environments. Reportedly in southeast DC, people see wild turkeys every so often, and a peahen took up residence in someone's backyard. Last year a deer somehow got on the White House grounds (although that was probably a protest against plans to drill in the Arctic Strategic Reserve).

the urban badger is a common sight in Bristol and Oxford. The boyofbadgers, however, is not.
