Photo taken early hours today. The blind eye (his left) can be seen bloodshot. Debatable how the injury occurred but probably fighting with other foxes. One Eye is fortunately a dominant fox and is shown due respect. He approaches with confidence to get his nightly treat.

some of the most remarkable video clips of rural foxes and badgers seen anywhere ... these aren't urban scavengers or 'trained' animals ...

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.
