The Brazen Beast.

So...today on hearing the silkies outside causing a commotion I went to the window to investigate. At first I couldn't see any reason for the fuss and then spotted the fox trotting along the edge of the trees towards the house. It turned and came down the line of our hail net fence and then stood and looked at the alarmed silkies on the other side. It was completely unaware that I was watching it and I should have thought to grab my camera to get a picture of it up close but my annoyance kicked in and I hammered on the window sending it hurtling away, it's mangy tail flapping behind.

I hope the shock has made it think twice about coming back...but I doubt it.
