    Was coming up one of the fields today in the Matbro about 5.30pm when I spotted a pair of eyes in the hedge, it moved off, looking back once before it went through an old gate into the next field.

    I carried on along the headland, could see it over the hedge in the field still watching me. When I came to the lane heading out of the field I killed the lights and the engine and hopped out.

    I crept round the corner and spied the fox still looking my way. A quick squeal had ir running my way :) I lay down on the bank and kept on quietly squeaking and saw it run along the fence towards me, he disappeared from view before appearing bout 5 ft from my face :eek: :eek: :eek:

    It stared at me for what felt like an age, prob bout 5 seconds, stared right at me, twitched it nose, took a good sniff den turned around and headed off :eek:

    Have to say was eerie being so close to a wild animal :D Days like this make me glad I dont sit behind a desk in a city :rolleyes:
