Some more video footage in our back garden showing hedgehog and this time the female fox feeding in same area and taking little notice of each other.
This clip shows the female collecting the biscuits that are treated with a homoeopathic sarcoptic mange remedy. On the Sunday night she ate the biscuits on the spot. Its difficult to know whether when collecting them she is taking them back for cubs or hiding the food for later consumption. On this occasion she returned shortly after with the biscuits still held in her mouth again on another clip a short while later (not shown here) without.
Interesting moment here the clip goes straight into an interaction with a neighbours cat who takes objection to the fox in its considered territory and chases the fox out of our garden.
The trailcam had was set up attached to a iron washing line post and showing in this clip is a daylight picture covered during the past few nights. We currently have a pair of Robins who's chicks have fledged and you can see on of the fledgling's being fed on the birdbath. Have tried to make the garden wildlife friendly with pond, a small meadow area currently full of cowslips and plants to attract butterflies, bees and other insects. We have hedgehog boxes around the garden with one in use. Planted a mixed hedgerow to the right of this picture a number of years ago and have planted firethorn as a berry source for birds.
