Odd Behaviour

Beautiful evening so I went to sit outside, enjoy a nightcap and gaze at the stars. A fox came running up and started to nibble my shoe!
We feed many wild animals, birds and passing walkers in the field but don't want them to become used to humans....certainly not confident enough to come that close!

I've often mentioned that my cats regard me as their substitute mum and I've also mentioned that I'm developing breasts (due to using women's HRT patches as a medical trial for prostate cancer). However I wasn't really ready for Chequers to try to get milk from my nipple, as he did when I was in bed the other day! He's got sharp teeth!!!

//Well if it starts singing that to me, Douglas, I'm off!
I have no intention of letting Foxy get that close, Chris.
It would be lovely to let the foxes and pine martens get close, Fatticus and this one is over confident. But letting them think all humans were kind would be a mistake.//
They’re probably wary enough when they need to be, their instincts kick in pretty much from birth.
I’m currently ‘training’ a Robin who’s getting braver each day that I move the seed tray a little closer to the patio door.

The instincts of two of the foxes is sharp, Fatticus. If I open the door they are off. This one will try to pass my legs to get inside.
It would be fine if not for lampers and hen keepers with guns. I want the foxes to be wary enough of them to scarper at the sound or smell of a human.
Lovely to get pictures on our wildlife camera....but not to be able to stroke them!
A robin is a different. We have very tame robins and that's fine. Nobody's going to shoot them.
