It's been some time since I updated with video clips from Mr Cruisedog's Night Patrol. Starting tonight (tomorrow morning actually, as we only commence operations well after midnight) we'll take the cam with us and see if we can get some footage of the new batch of foxes and badgers. Old friends come and go but there's always new faces that appear to take their places here in the combe. You can never 'guarantee' anything out on the cliff paths and meadows, but at least we'll have the cam to hand should anything worthwhile occur ...

A batty bat, return of the Jackal and an owl swoops ...
Fun and games at CRUISEDOG TOWERS tonight ... had to duck when a bat dive-bombed the light from my head torch as I was feeding My Vixen just outside the back door. Couldn't identify it but it was a pretty large one and scared the hell out of me. Very relieved to see 'Jackal' half way through our cliff rounds. He had been missing for two nights in a row and I was getting uneasy. He was very skittish at first - the gusting wind not helping - but eventually he approached to take food from my hand. Last chore of the night (usually about 01:30) is to put some grain and seed on the bird tables (2) - again lighting the way via my head torch. A sudden 'whooshing' noise and a flash of white swept by me - literally only a few inches from my face. It was our local Barn Owl, who had been looking for rodents who grub around for dropped seed from the table. By the time I reached the kitchen I had developed a rather nervous twitch ...
A FOX CAME A VISITING

A video of one of my foxes being treated for Sarcoptic mange - taking the medication on the food by hand. She recovered completely and my thanks go out to the Derbyshire Fox Rescue who supplied the medication.
