City Foxes

[nuttytigger]

we've also got a lot of bats up here as well

[DickyHart]

theres loads of them in the grounds of gartnavel hospital

[Doorstop]

Some of the biggest foxes I've ever seen live in dens around the old apprentices canteen in Govan Shipbuilders.

Bloody huge they are .. and pot, black mockit.

was cycle caught fox eating or looking beside new riverside museum

and going under the clydeside expressway

[Glasgogirl]

Awe, I can't imagine why anyone would want to kill the wee things. Foxes do eat all other manner of small rodents so they keep down the numbers of rats, mice etc. (that is when they're not scrounging burgers mind).

Last year,hubby was working on a building site right in the city centre, on Argyll St, just before the Heilan' Man's Umbrella and there was a vixen and three cubs living there in a den

Most foxes it seems go to the edge of roads to die, that's certainly where their carcasses are littered

Fox cubs at dusk

[Glasgogirl]

Awe... the cubs are just too too cute. I wanna take them home, but they'd eat my chickens!!!! We have coyotes & wolves here (in Bc Cda). Not quite as cute as foxes....

[BrigitDoon]

Oh, they were cute, alright, and it's a shame I didn't have the camcorder back then. Watching them play was a treat.

There's one that crosses the path in front of us most nights, when I'm out with the dogs. Cumbernauld isn't quite the City I know, but it's as built-up as some parts of Glasgow I reckon. I'm glad the dogs don't often see it - not sure who'd come off best, but I worry it wouldn't be the dogs!

Fox would run a mile.

She was a cub playing in my garden a couple of years ago, now she's a regular limping visitor who feasts on any sunflower seeds that fall from the bird feeders.

Don't mention bats to me. I have a nursery roost under my roof tiles and I am not allowed to disturb it because they are a protected species. The noise from the babies when they are born in almost unbearable, and I can't use my attic bedroom in the summer months for the racket. You can hear them scrabbling about all day and it sounds like a million mice.
My neighbour was also plagued with them and he once kiled a couple that were flying round his kitchen. Someone reported him and the police were called.
The local conservation officer, or batman as he is known round here, calls up every year to make sure the bats have not been tampered with.
Iv'e nothing against bats, I just don't like living with them.

[BrigitDoon]

I don't know which species this is; perhaps someone can enlighten me.
