Foxy!

[Paul Barton]

My brother in law just sent me these pics of an oak opposite his house in west London. He has been watching foxes come and go from the hole at the base of the tree and making a mess in the process!

 

Strikes me as an odd place to make a den surrounded by paving slabs and concrete but I guess they like it!

 

He was wondering if they could be damaging the tree but I wouldn't be too concerned.

 

Anyone seen this before?

Pitty the poor TO that goes poking around for Fungi

 

Haven't heard or seen that one before.

 

Plenty of foxes right in the heart of the the big smoke though.

 

Gotta admit, that's pretty darn oportunistic aint it?

 

They must live with continual noise and vibration, crazy arsed dingos

 

Should get Andrew or Marcus to do a TI on it without telling them whats inside.

That'll sure play havock with the "Tree Thermal Matrix Software"

Saw the same thing in the grounds of an apartment block in Bromley somewhere. Massive old oak with a huge hole underneath. Residents said foxes have been living in it for years.

Yes mate – Under a huge Cedar in Worcester. Some local (concerned) residents called me on seeing hole appear more or less over night. I monitored the foxes activity and it turns out they were just foraging/playing silly buggers. I filled the hole in after a few weeks, should have called in the hunt, lol

I've got a badger sett near the back of my yard, they can shift some stuff alright.

I heard of a guy who cut a fox in half felling a hollow tree, he had no idea it was in there

Unusual surrounds but it`s not uncommon for earths to start at the bases of tree`s.

They just seem to know that access to there cubs will be very difficult if not near on impossible.

I mean there`s no way i`d stick my Terrier in something like that..

Ha ha - nice idea Dave. This is in Acton. I have see loads of foxes around there before - normally darting in and out of hedges and overgrown gardens. Why they like that particular tree I don't know but it is quite cool.
