A rare magic moment shared with little vixen Summer. Nothing beats coming eye to eye with a wild fox who approaches you on their own terms.🦊🧡 Just to clarify: I have never and will never hand-feed or stroke a wild fox. The reason is that there is nothing to be gained by the fox if I was to do this. There is a worrying trend on social media to post selfies whilst hand-feeding a fox. It makes my blood boil. To train a fox to associate a human hand with food is stupid, selfish and puts the fox in great danger! Let the animals to chose to approach you and just be in the moment, sit still and watch. Don't try to tame or train them. They are not ours but wild and free. 🐾

Foxes are like buses – there is none for ages and then 3 come at once…😂 I thought there was a glitch in the matrix when I first saw this clip. I adore this footage of three of the cemetery cubs playing tag. They are not just running but positively bouncing at the same time, full of joy and excitement! 🦊🦊🦊 And nope, it’s not AI but the real magic of nature, captured on my trail camera. 💚🌿 #cemeteryfoxes #foxcubs #foxkits #foxes #wildlife

Poor Bert is suffering from the dreaded lungworm.😳 I have don4 four watches at the cemetery so far to get him treated but have so far not succeeded. He is a very shy newbie and has to learn to trust me first, take food and eat in front of me. I am in a race against time to get him treated before his vixen will birth their cubs in 10 days time. Once the vixen is in the den with the newborn cubs, all helper foxes will carry most of the food they find to her, so it will be impossible to target-feed medicated food. It would be wise to treat the whole skulk before the cubs are born to be on the safe side. If you wish to help, donations towards medication (Nexguard Spectra) are gratefully accepted 🙏🦊🧡:

Remembering Tony Cook 30.4.1969 – 13.7.2023 ❤️ Tony was talented and humble, strong and stubborn, gentle and kind.A musician, coder, creative. An animal lover and fox friend. An all-round ‘top bloke’. My right-hand man, best friend and love of my life. Tony on I both got foxed together 10 years ago when two fox cubs turned our garden into their playground. He did a lot of work for Fox Guardians behind the scenes. I can’t believe he has been gone for almost 3 years. As time goes on, the pain of the profound loss of him deepens rather than dissipates. I miss him. Every day. -A landscape of Tony Cook- He was once invincible - strong - Steady as a mountain - stubborn! He walked gently through life Like rolling hills. His kindness and love for nature and animals - a lush spring flower meadow He was easygoing and open-minded - Like a wide sandy beach His emotion deep and often hidden In the abyss of the endless sea The ocean of love To which he has returned. (Poem by our friend Dom Dollosso)

This is what life looks like for a fox living on the wrong side of the tracks. Poor little Paca lives just a short walk away from the cemetery foxes but her life is incredibly tough as the locals don't welcome her. My mission is to feed her, treat her mange & educate the locals.

This is how fox cubs are made! 🦊🧡🦊 After a short copulation that only lasts 5-10 seconds, the foxes tie together if the mating was successful. The tie can last for up to an hour and neither fox can break this lock. The young vixen decided to drag her partner with her into the den for some more privacy and safety whilst being tied together intimately. Little vixen Spring had many suitors over the last few weeks but ultimately chose the most mature dog fox to father her cubs. This is a wise decision as she will be a first-time mum and he is the most experienced fox dad in the area and may be able to support her and their cubs by bringing them food and taking on babysitting duties. 🐾 This dog fox, Henry, won young Spring over with his laid-back attitude and gentle manner. He just quietly shadowed her to make sure she was safe rather than putting on a noisy and cocky mating display. I marked the Red Letter Day in my diary and know that 54 days from that date their cubs will be born. ✍️ I can’t wait to meet the next generation of the cemetery fox dynasty. How about you? 👁

More bad news from the cemetery.😱 People moved in on the 4.9. They use hard drugs on site, light fires and stole all my memory cards from the trail cameras. Damage £150. I am gutted that I can't monitor the foxes atm to help quickly if needed.Please consider a donation so I can replace the memory cards and continue to monitor this fox clan, once the people have been moved on. To find a safe place to sleep is one thing. To totally wreck that safe haven and endanger the resident vulnerable wildlife is another.

How beautiful is this?! 😍 A foxy kiss between mum Spring and Dad Bert. They are rearing their cubs together, taking turns with foraging for food and watching over and playing with the cubs. When the changeover happens, the parents always greatly enjoy to reconnect with each other and their 5 offspring as one happy family unit.🧡 Dad Bert is a very paws-on dad. He is not just providing food but also playing with his kids extensively. 🐾 This playtime makes them stronger and more agile and is teaching them essential life skills. But of course playing with each other also strengthens the social bonds between the family members. I can't wait to see the cubs grow into juvenile foxes and learn all about their distinctive characters.🦊 #foxes #foxfamily #foxcubs #foxkits #cemeteryfoxes

The Fox dad of the year award goes to Bertie!!!🦊🧡 He has kept a watchful eye over his cubs for many months, provided lots of food and special treats (like an egg that he may have liked to enjoy himself!!) and most importantly has endlessly played with his little rascals. When their boisterous nature got too much he kindly yet firmly put them in their place but he never lost patience with them as they are learning to be independent young adult foxes. Well done, Bertie – YOU are the fox dad of 2026! We hope you will enjoy the trophy in the shape of a tasty drumstick, just for you!!🍗 X

Like Mother, like daughter! 🦊🦊I love this footage of fox mum Spring with her juvenile daughter. Her daughter is copying mum’s alert behaviour – scanning the environment for any danger by listening and watching the expanse of their territory intently. It’s adorable when Spring’s daughter nose bumps her mum and asks her for reassurance. Often the cautious cubs are more likely to succeed as adults because they take their time to learn the ways of an adult fox. This little vixen could become her mum’s helper next year, should Spring mate again. You can see in the background of this clip one of the siblings running past – I believe this to be one of the dominant males at the cusp of dispersal.

Poor little soul! 😱 Last night at 2am, the storm blew this sick little vixen into my garden. She is suffering from #mange and has lost almost all the fur from her brush. She has many bare patches and will be feeling very itchy, uncomfortable and thirsty. Because she has no more cosy brush to wrap around herself to keep her warm, she will be feeling cold. 😑 The worst thing about her situation is that she is pregnant, so if she does not get treated quickly, the parasitic mites that cause mange will not only spread all over her body and emaciate her, but they will also migrate onto her new-born cubs. The race is on against time to get her treated as soon as possible. I will do a night watch tonight in the hope that she will return at the same time and I get to feed her a medicated piece of chicken. 👁 Please keep your fingers and paws crossed for her!🤞 Your donations enable me to purchase more live-saving mange treatments: Thank you for your support! 🙏🐾💞

A precious moment money can't buy! 😍 Every minute spent with Elf, 'my' wild and free fox friend is special. Every encounter is initiated by him and every interaction is different. Most of the time when we bump into each other, he chooses to just sit with me. Often when I am on fox watch (usually to treat one of his ill family members), he goes asleep right next to me whilst I tell him a foxy fairy tale. I have no idea what he sees in me and why he seeks my company?!🤔 But I know that these peaceful shared moments are cherished deeply by both of us. 🦊🧡

👁I know it seems obvious but water is an absolute lifeline for all wildlife, especially for lactating vixens still nursing their cubs.🦊 I got multiple water dishes out at different levels in my garden and bring 10 liters of water into the cemetery that usually get lapped up within 24 hours. Please provide always provide fresh water for wildlife but especially during these scorching hot days!🙏🐾 Fruit high in water content such as watermelons are also a much appreciated hydrating treat! #fox #foxes #wildlife #water #heatwave

Foxy Diplomacy. 🦊 Foxes can teach us a thing or two about how to resolve conflict in a respectful and gentle way! Winter got spooked by her sister Spring popping up right behind her, so she told her off. Both vixens were opening their jaws to show their teeth but uttered no sound. Spring closed her eyes and ducked her head low, signalling to her sister that she means no harm. I love the many foxy micro-movements composing a complex exchange of body language!🧡 #foxes #fox #foxfamily #foxcommunication #foxtalk #cemeteryfoxes #foxguardians #wildlife

Meet Willow, a hard-working fox mum. Once she nursed her cubs, she loves nothing more than taking long snoozes on the garden table that is glowing with warmth from the spring sun. 🦊 She is one of the residents who live in my friend's garden. Willow peacefully coexists with another lactating vixen called Boots and a fox boy called Gordon. Boots has first dibs on food, though. You can help foxes just by letting them rest up in your garden and enjoy some moments of peace. Fresh drinking water is also much appreciated, especially during dry spell we have been having in the UK recently.

A vixen that I have never seen before has started to visit my garden. She is heavily pregnant, extremely hungry and very tame. Rather than sussing me out from a distance she came up right close to 'ask for help'. I think that somebody has been feeding her but maybe they have gone on holiday or moved away, so this vixen is taking risks she would normally avoid in order to feed herself and soon to be born cubs. It is brave of her to stroll into a territory of a vixen and her Beau who just had cubs. Foxes are very territorial, especially when they have cubs to rear. 👁️Interesting fox fact: This footage shows the vixen’s eyes glowing, which is generated by the so-called “Tapetum Lucidum” in action. The “Tapetum Lucidum” is a tissue behind the retina that reflects light back through the retina, giving animals like foxes excellent night vision. I triggered the reflector as the light on my camera was on.

Isn't he stunning? 🤩 Fox Dad Bertie is on den den watch whilst mum Spring has gone looking for food. Nothing escapes his eagle eyes and helicopter ears and finely tuned nose when he is protecting his young from possible intruders. 👁 I adore the tiny white star on his black chest. He is such a looker. What do you love about Bertie? 🦊 I am incredibly grateful that I was able to treat him for lung worm when he was very poorly and coughing nonstop. 🙏🐾 #fox #cemeteryfoxes #foxes #foxfamily #wildlife

What a wonderful fox dad Elf is! This was him last summer playing patiently with his daughters. He taught them well to be confident and street- smart young vixens. All of his daughters are now fox mums themselves and “responsible adults”. However, every time they bump into them when he is inspecting his large territory surrounding the cemetery, they still wiggle their brushes excitedly and squeal with joy just like they did when they were tiny cubs. I hope you will enjoy this #FlashbackFriday clip. I will continue to share more precious memories of the wonderful foxes under my care.

Meet my latest protégé at the cemetery, a little boy with a leg injury. Turns out the cemetery is a magnet for ill and injured foxes. They come here, away from humans, cars and dogs to recuperate in peace, before they venture again into the wider world. I have been able to treat him for 5 days now and luckily his leg is now weight-bearing when sitting, standing and walking. So, hopefully he will make a full recovery and will be able to run and jump again using all legs. #cemeteryfoxes #fox #foxes

He's behind you!! 😆Sometimes Elf is shadowing my work without me even realizing that he is there! I love that foxes often appear silently as if materializing out of thin air. It gives them that air of magic! Once I realised that Elf was there and I finished setting up my trail camera, I sat down with him for a a short while to film him. He got bored quickly and moved on to sniffing and scent-marking my wicker trolley that he firmly considers part of his territory and his property! I have never trained him to come close and would never hand-feed or touch him. He is wild, not tame. He trusts me to a certain degree but I can assure you, one sudden movement from me and he would bolt and run. And that is exactly how it should be. #fox #foxes #wildlife #foxguardians

Update on the little mange patient🦊🧡: The good news is that she returned and had a good feed last night. Unfortunately the time she visited, some of the resident juveniles were about, so target- feeding medicated chicken was not possible. However, this is progress and I feel it is only a matter of time until I can treat her. I am patient and persistent. Now I just need some luck! 💫 This clip teaches us a lot about fox behaviour: We can see that foxes are fair. They stand up for their territory but if the other fox submits like the little vixen did by ducking down and making cub-like sounds, then she will be left alone. 💞 The footage featuring a malnourished fox with mange right next to a healthy fox who gets fed daily in my garden, also demonstrates the relevance of supplementary feeding foxes. A fox that has their basic needs met will have a strong immune system and will cope with parasites (like the mites that can cause mange) much better than a malnourished fox. 🍗

I got the BEST news!! 😁 Ivy returned last night and had her treatment for mange. 🥳 She will feel better within days and will be protected from mange for 3 months. I will continue to monitor her closely and feed her and also deworm her.
