The fox(es) still come to the back door for food every night but I see less of them as they often don't arrive until after I have gone to bed. Last night the first to arrive was the short-tailed cub, as is usually the case. Almost immediately its attention was drawn to something off to the right and it ran off out of view, towards the newcomer.
Moments later the vixen appeared
This is the first time in ages that I have seen all four foxes together and it is good to see that both cubs are still around. I'll keep an eye out to see who is visiting the garden as we go into winter. Fortunately the individuals are very easy to recognise, even just from their faces. Here are the dog (top L), vixen (top R), short-tailed cub (bottom L), long-tailed cub (bottom R).
Of course having one cub with only half a tail makes it easy as well!
