Seeing Jabblog's post about foxes reminded me about our foxes. Ms Fox has given up playing hard to get and seems happily coupled with Mr Fox these days. No more chases around the garden but pleasant ambulatory strolls. Let's hope we get some cubs later on in the year.
Meanwhile Younger Son in Italy sent us this from one of the cameras he has on his land.
On a different night the film showed two wolves passing through. Now in case you think that it's okay because YS has a huge patch of land - it's not that big! Just a smallish area of woodland up the side of the hill. A good deal bigger than your average garden but still, quite close to have wolves wandering around.
The only concern YS has though is that local hunters will hear about the wolves and see them as a threat to the deer and wild boar they hunt, and go in search of them.

Yes, the wolf's worst enemy is people. I often suggest we reintroduce the grey wolf to NJ because their loss of habitat caused the deer population to explode. My suggestions usually get angry stares, for some reason..
Somehow, I do not picture wolves in much of Europe.
YS is safe so long as his house is not built of straw or twigs.
What a cool sighting
Anvilcloud you are wrong. In november 24 I blogged about the situation here in Germany. Currently we have almost 200 wild packs of wolves
I met one recently when walking my bulldog in nearby forest.
Can't think why. Husband is in favour of introducing bears.
All over the place apparently.
He's okay then! That's good news.
Very!
What did it do?
We both backed away warily. Wolf too. Bulldog was on a leash of course.
That camera is a good eye on the area. The biggest danger may be the humans.
