    In the last couple of weeks I spotted foxes (perhaos it was always the same) on the Eldin rd are at around 8am. Nice sight.

    Now, today between 6am and 6.30 i saw another one walking in my place's garden. Its size was the same as a mid size dog and it looked in very good condition given the bright orange of its hair.

    The little one was going and coming around a hole where squirrells hide something.

    I did not get totale him a picture, but I will try to do so and share it.

    I believe this must be rather common given the proximity of Herbert park, very enjoyable really :)

    Yeah there are a few in Elm Park Golf Club behind Vincent's Hospital. Well known for rumaging through unattended golf bags looking for food. They are incredibly tame there and will nearly eat out of your hand!

    It's the end of the mating season for them, so they will be a bit more desperate, preoccupied and horny.

    I saw one early in the morning on the waste ground opposite Tara Towers Hotel so not a million miles away from there.

    I travel down anglesea road sometimes in or around 4am after work and usually see one or two.

    I'd consider them a usual sight - you've to look out for them though as they're smart enough to scamper when they hear a vehicle.

    Loads around me, foxes have no problems in urban areas.
