Playful fox cubs

The fox family that lives in my garden is getting bolder. This morning I saw the pair of cubs playing on my lawn while their mother watched for trouble.

I have also started leaving out scraps of food for the foxes that would otherwise go into my rubbish bin. Although it is not always a good idea to put human food out for wild creatures, the foxes were taking it out of my bin sacks anyway - leaving rubbish strewn across my garden in the process. In the circumstances, I felt I was saving us all a bit of effort.
