Date: 8th August 2025
Time: from 9 p.m.
Prompted by the fact that I had a chicken carcass and the failure to see any Red Foxes at the site since 15th June 2025, I decided to go out tonight with said carcass, gravy and dog biscuits plus my thermal monocular.
As I arrived at my location, I saw a Common Buzzard fly over silently and silhouetted in the gathering darkness.
During the hour that I spent at the site, I saw 2 distant Red Foxes plus I had a brief sighting of a Reeves’ Muntjac.
Unfortunately, no Red Foxes came anywhere near the buffet laid out for them but I bet every scrap would be gone by morning!
