Some people love them, some hate them. I just think this one is cute. It's the first time I've seen this little one. Adults visit regularly even though I never leave food for them but I have seen them eating the hedgehog food, along side the hedgehog.

Well he certainly does look cute ....... but when I used to kept chickens and ducks in what seems like another life I was not so keen!

I know what you mean. Our son lost his first four chickens to a fox and saved another from the fox when he and our grandsons were playing in the garden mid afternoon. The hen survived after the fox tried to jump a fence with her. I never put my guinea pigs outside unless I'm with them even in their hutch as years ago one took two of my rabbits, but I still like seeing the foxes (as long as they don't catch anything, that is).
That really is a great picture! One year when my son was about 10, something got into the pen and destroyed all his chickens. My poor baby was devastated. They were his pets and used to sit on his shoulders and eat out of hand.
Like my sons hens. As soon as our grandsons come home from school they go into the garden to "cuddle" the hens. When the fox caught their first group they were very upset. Our son tried to make them feel better by saying that as they were rescue hens they had a happy two years with them that they wouldn't have had if they hadn't been saved.
Oh that was a good way to put it!

PETER JONES QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA PSP SUFFERER AND DISH WASHER
Hi Peter Jones, good to hear from you. Colin is doing OK at the moment. He can't wash the dishes any more though. I had to replace most of our crockery as he used to help me a lot! Your comment about not doing the washing up if you break the dishes reminded me of our son when he was about 14. Colin asked him to mow the lawn and our son moaned as he had other things he wanted to do. Colin wasn't a very strict dad but told our son he wasn't doing anything until the lawn was cut and said it wouldn't hurt him to do more to help around the house. Reluctantly he started mowing but within minutes there was an almighty bang. He had run the electric mower over the cable. We had a safety trip plug so he wasn't hurt but Colin wouldn't let him mow it any more. We had to buy a new mower. I'm convinced he did it on purpose to get out of doing it again. i may ask him next time I speak to him.
Have a good weekend Peter Jones.
Stay upright.
Nanna B and Colin 👍👍

Impressive photograph NannaB. Well done, it's not easy to catch wild life. We have only had one fox in our garden, not quick enough to catch him on film, that I have seen. I actually did see one yesterday, in our road, during the middle of the day. I quickly turned the car around so S could catch a glimpse, but he had gone!
Lots of love
Heady
well nannas b they the foxes have got to eat after all by the way we are not allowed to keep rabbits matey in queensland mate they all went bonkers over here and bred like wildfire when they were introduced to Australia but you have to get a letter or a licence from the department of primary industries if you want to get one if you are a magician or have a business where you need a rabbit now that's a bit of trivia for you peter jones queensland Australia psp bloke and an ex magician comedy magic of course mate see yer take care
That's interesting. I had heard there had been a rabbit problem down under but didn't realise there was a ban. I like hearing trivia.
Thanks Peter Jones.
Nanna B and Colin 👍👍
Oh, is that why you had a hamster in your act? It hadn't occurred to me when you told the story of your small furry assistant to wonder why not a traditional rabbit!

It was a ghastly swollen purple for a few days. Now it's a lovely daffodil color. And his coughing is going too, so don't let up on your training. He'll be catching up in no time! When are you off on your train trip, mr. J? Wish we could join you. Such a good way to travel! Best, ec
