Set fair for the winter

Heavy rain Thursday and Friday night saw notable absentees from our nightly rounds.  The one-eyed vixen (lost sight in one eye after injury sustained in either a fight or trailing bramble), in fine condition, thought it prudent to stay under cover and the virtually sightless fox (unsure how - seems to have lost sight gradually) was discouraged from venturing out.
However, all was well when Mr Cruisedog and I went out tonight (early hours Sunday) with both of these animals appearing.  All foxes and badgers are in good condition to see out the winter - the main blessing being the absence of sarcoptic mange in the fox population this year.
