I find it hard to believe myself.. frighten a Fox away yes, but to get the better of it and kill it? I can't imagine it.
Believe it or not, I saw my first Fox stalking across a field yesterday in daylight.. pretty looking things. Normally all I see of them is road kill..  _________________ Johnnie Walker read out my message on Pirate Radio! 13/8/07

I thought I read somewhere that in the affray the fox was knocked unconscious by something heavy that was dislodged, and then the birds pecked him to death. _________________ Minx

He might have knocked over and been pinned down by that table.
Foxes are very common here - one followed and passed me in Sainsbury's car park last week as I wheeled the trolley from store to car. _________________ Ron |
