With the wetter weather, earthworms are back on the menu for the foxes. They're quite proficient at finding them.

I was aware that foxes were partial to worms but that is the first time I've seen it happening. A bit like eating half cooked spaghetti.

I think worms make up a relatively large proportion of their diet when conditions are right.VIDEO

A couple of years ago I tossed out some over-ripe bananas thinking the birds might peck at them but was surprised to see a large fox scoff them.

It is surprising what get eaten.

After putting a bit of chicken skin out, a fox with an injury to its forehead snapped it up. Then 10 minutes later, another individual arrived but was scared off by the halloween fireworks!VIDEO

Love the videos Nick. Blooming fire works are a pain. Great to see foxes coming to eat its a really nice sight.

Thanks Snappy. I have loads of them but that was my favourite. Not sharp as they say but the fox looking at the sunrise in a frosted field was great. It must be hard for them at the moment.
