Wildlife, living next to nature

Original thread created by xoxoxoBruce

Here is a lovely video of a Canadian who's adopted a zillion raccoons.

Happy Election Day and good luck with that.

Re: Wildlife, living next to nature

Badgers and foxes are nightly visitors and it isn't unusual for the occasional guest appearance of a muntjac.
However, this scene of harmony slightly surprised me.
Perhaps the fox is wary of the muntjac and the muntjac is wary of the fox and so they co-exist in a state of tension.
OTOH perhaps neither gives a hoot!


I've had a couple of daylight sightings of the deer as has a neighbour.
There's a small paddock nearby in which self set sycamore and ash trees have taken a hold, along with other greenery, which no doubt provides excellent cover.

The Muntjac is a bit of a strange beast as they bark incessantly, thus drawing attention to themselves, but it isn't known why.
Still, they're welcome visitors.

Carruthers gets a small deer and a big fox and I get a small fox and a big deer.

Re: Wildlife, living next to nature

Cool.  Maybe I should get one of those trail cams for my back yard.

Although the wildlife has died down since early spring.  The fox has dispatched 2-3 bunnies and at least 2 squirrells, so it's a death zone back there now.  When I was travelling recently, my wife had to deal with the remains of one squirrel, and had to mention it at least half a dozen times. 

The fox chewed a hole in my kayak planter because it heard something in there, but I patched it back up again over the weekend with bondo.
