Best person to contact for anything fox related Kaz is the Fox Man . RSPCA , if you can get them out will more often than not just euthanize . He has a facebook page or you can get his details via the internet . Covers the whole of the North West and Yorkshire too .

Thanks but I am down south,my local people dont put them down,they treat and rehabilitate injured foxes,have to catch it first though
 
I just hand fed a young badger,never done it before but by the time I got to the window it had climbed up on the shaky metal thing and was about six inches away from me, so I thought I would reward the effort,it took it so gently then promptly fell off on its head lol

I need to think about getting another cat before I domestic a badger to snuggle up with instead !
 
Yesterday a bird got stuck in my house. Pretty sure it was a martin, a young one, too. I live in a very narrow street, mainly on the third floor of the house, and martins have been zooming up and down the street hell for leather all summer long. He whacked himself against a mirror, and just lay there, pretty stunned. Moving very, very slowly, talking very quietly to him all the time (I know this makes me sound like a nutter!) I managed to pick him up. He fluttered in a panic, of course, then calmed down. Took him over to the open window, and let him go back to his world. Off he flew.
It was extremely pleasurable to give him his freedom back.
 
Hand fed the one young badger three nights running now,it puts in a lot of effort climbing up to make sure it gets its bit

Shouldnt be doing it really

Not seen the fox caught in the plastic trap again,rang fox man today who says he is still not been caught but loads of us are still trying,reckon he is a goner,a long painful death is no way to go ,completely unecessary
 
When i got my shopping yesterday they sent me a load of scones instead of fruit bread so last night i am lobbing them as far as i can and they are bouncing around once they hit the ground,there was a dozen hairy arsed badgers running round the garden trying to catch them and scrapping over them,it was like badger arobics,funny as fuck,who knew you could excercise badgers lol

Add to that the foxes trying to do a smash and grab raid and hitting badgers on the heads with flying scones

Wot? No jam and cream? The poor things.
 
My friends come earlier now it is darker earlier, my little friend is always sat practically on the window ledge waiting for me,i think i left the window open he would climb in,i wont ,that would be stupid,i have worked out it is number two baby,now i can see his teeth right up close, they are tiny but look very sharp,he takes his bit of fruit bread very gently,we have an understanding

In about four weeks time the numbers thin out a bit as the females start to nest,they dont get pregnant till december though,nature has it all timed for their babies , i should explain that better , they get pregnant but it doesnt implant and grow till january
 
Been feeding the birds in the garden. In the last week there has been a Sparrowhawk visiting with devastating effect and today a woodpecker.

Had a woodpecker here the other day.
Also had a fox eyeballing the cat. Will it try to eat/kill him?

They generally only scavenge dead ones I think mate. Unless they are starving.
Then again if you snuff it your cat may eat you.
 
a tale.

i was crossing the taxi ways of Manchester airport, when i saw something on the yellow line of the taxi way(planes follow these lines) i thought it was some sort of fruit, so asked my colleague what it was, (we report any fod( foreign object debris) to the air ops so they can remove it, so my colleague said it was a bird, so i we went to report it to an air ops, when we finally stopped one she said "i know" its a lapwing, its been there for two days(the airport is dead at the moment and this was on a remote taxiway) it apparently was making a head gesture and calling in a certain way that meant it had lost its mate and was mourning it, how fucking sad :(
 
A male pheasant has shown up at our house this week, he spends a good 3 or 4 hours pottering about. He sees off the magpies and wood pigeons but he isn't bothered about the little birds going to the feeders. Hopefully he'll hang around a while longer.

A grey wagtail has been hanging about laserblue towers lately. We get one or two every autumn as we have a pond and they like running water especially when insects are becoming scarce elswhere.
