Fox

Fox on A Sunday Afternoon

Sunday afternoon 2.00pm.

About 500 metres from the centre of Kilmore, there is a paddock attached to Assumption College. It is across the road from the Blue Cross Nursing home and adjacent to the Fire Station.



This fox was having a wonderful time hunting in the long grass, quite undisturbed by the cars, walkers, dogs, trucks and photographers close by.



I have seen a number of foxes over the last few weeks. All have had beautiful thick winter coats and all looked well fed.



Beautiful as they are, I know how they are detested by those who have poultry around the town. We often hear stories of families waking to find all the chooks in the chook pen dead. These cute animals will often kill every chicken in a group before making off with just one or two in
their mouths.

The local sheep farmers also will tell anyone who will listen just how destructive foxes are during the lambing season.

 Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder.
