A few months ago some muddy paw prints appeared on the wall in our garden and we wondered who the culprit might be…  well Sam and I meet him this morning.

It seems as though we have a neighbor we didn’t know about and he gave me the shock of my life when he appeared at the top of our fence while I was giving Sam his breakfast. He had a good sniff around the bird table and admired our flowers while I dashed off to grab the camera leaving Sam slightly bemused and a little peckish.

He’s a big-un isn’t he – I’m sure he is larger than most foxes and he looked pretty well fed. He didn’t pay Sam and me any attention and before long headed back over our fence. I wonder it we’ll see him again any time soon?
