I have waited 3 years for this to happen, but concluded that Vulpes vulpes had been eradicated from my patch of Wiltshire / Dorset....then....
Last Friday evening I spent 20 minutes watching, through my binoculars, a large, mature, male fox hunting for field voles, in the barn owl field. AMAZING. He was dark brown & black, with tinges of very light ginger, and a very square face with black tear drop markings running down each cheek. He was, for sure, an older dog which gave me heart. So the field which is rotationally cut to provide field voles for the barn owls, is additionally providing food for the fox. What a result!
