I was amazed to see that we have song thrushes nesting in our tree in the front garden. What makes it even better is we can watch them from our bedroom. I thought song thrushes were in decline so this is fantastic. Would love to take photos but we don't want to disturb them.
I quite enjoy the early morning sighting of a couple of young foxes in the garden, however, I have been told of possible health problems foxes could bring to my growing crop of vegetables which I hope to enjoy throughout this year. Should I be concerned? Do foxes cause harmful infestation of vegetables grown in the garden? If anyone could help me I would be ever grateful.
Reply to Sam. Foxes attacking a child would be a very strange thing. The trouble is that urban foxes have become so acclimatized to humans that they have stopped fearing them. This may have led them to become cheeky, verging on aggressive. I'm not worried about foxes attacking. My cats see off the local foxes, which are several times larger than they are.
We have wonderful family of healthy foxes in the grounds of our apartment.Floodlights don't worry them its better watching them than the TV but they dig big holes in the pathways ...how can we stop this.Should the "baby" foxes be leaving "home" now?
I see foxes in my garden and sometimes during the day. I have a surburban garden. I noticed a great decline in visitors following the introductions of wheelie bins which replaced the black bags left out overnight for collection.

Foxes can make a right mess if they decide to dig where you'd rather they didn't. You may need netting or a stiff chicken-wire mesh.
