It's not your fault Kev, the popular press love a good scare story. We don't really have dangerous animals in the UK but one incident makes a good story and takes precedence over real life.
TBH i knew of the story about foxes i think in london. I know i scared it and it scared me. I know we dont have anything dangerous in comparison but we are not used to it. It not like we have to have to be careful when we go out to our sheds...unlike my cuz in Australia who poos himself every time he has to move something. My GF laughs cos she lives in the countryside and says she no wimp....yet doesnt move spiders
OK Fidget, no need to rub it in your pictures are brilliant. To be honest I am usually more focused on enjoying the wildlife than focusing the camera.............
My excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Get yourself a water scarecrow kev. You hitch it up to an outside tap. I got it because of the hellish problems with cats round here, but they're supposed to be effective with foxes too. It works on the resident squirrels as well if they get within range of the sensor!
Foxes tunnel under my fences to kill birds. They're fine if you have a rural/semi rural position as they keep well enough away from areas you, and other animals, use, but they can be a b****y nuisance in more urban and built up areas. We had a few at the last house in the wild bit on the other side of our driveway. They caused far more bother to the sheep farmer though...
Best twenty quid I've ever spent.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

thats what i feared.
I will not be harming Mr or Mrs fox but i wil be making it as hard as possible for them to use my garden. will have to invest in some trellis
I've seen one up the apple tree, so climbing a trellis should be easy.

Just a happy snappy. I set it on automatic and press the button.... David K would be appalled but it works for me.
