SOUTH-EAST ESSEX FOX WATCH. 22ND MAY, 1991
At approximately 7.15 p.m. 1 and a band of six hopefuls had settled into position in the hope of an
entertaining evening watching a family of foxes.
However, as the cubs had been pretty elusive this spring I was a little apprehensive, but confident
that one or more of the adults would show as normal.
Time passed with only the antics of numerous rabbits, amongst a fine display of Meadow Saxifrage,
keeping our spirits up.
A cold one and a half hours later it was time to admit defeat - no Vulpine voyeurism tonight.
Half the 'watchers' departed and just before the rest of us did likewise an adult fox popped
its head out of a bush some distance away.
That, I'm afraid was that. A rather disappointing evening, but you can't win them all.
