I think you may have to invest in some earplugs as they are now getting their territory sorted out before the mating rituals begin. Isn't the sound of the screaming vixen the most bloodcurdling sound you ever heard. I think it's something you can never ever get used to. Terrible!
Thanks both!
You're right Cetti the wildlife around here has no respect for a grumpy's beauty sleep! If this is the din before they start mating I'm really looking forward to the winter. I did manage an entire night sleep last night - oh apart that is, from the milkman who likes to rearrange his crates on my front at about 4am.
I agree too woofgang about the peacocks. Many years ago I used to stay at weekends with my fiancee's family & their neighbour kept peacocks. The first time I heard them calling at dawn it scared the life out of me!
Robinia that reminds me of a fox who used to live just outside my parents garden. My mum had been told by someone that if she gave the fox scraps of meat she wouldn't (the fox not my mum) take the rabbits and hens. It worked a treat and it was very lovely when she had small cubs and came to visit. BUT one of our dogs had dug a hole in garden he could lie in when it was hot and the fox felt the need to pee in this hole every night after dinner, of course then Silas (the dog) had to pee in before he could lie down...
I hope your fox problems are over soon!
Sweet dreams x

I've probably mentioned this before ( it's me age ya know!!) but I was woken (again) a couple of weeks ago by someone crunching around on the gravel in my front garden. So I plucked up courage to deal with the would be intruder & opened the widow to see two foxes chasing each other round & round!!
That's a lovely picture shaneystar - wonder if he knew he'd become an AB feature?
I suppose their body clocks are even more finely tuned than ours. And they don't have the internet to distract them!! I can't get away from the comp/telephone today!!
A friend of mine had a vixen visit his garden & when she had cubs she brought them as if to show them off - they stood & posed for a picture too!
