When we were ratting the other day ,the farmer said to me that he had a fox checking out the chicken sheds every night and would i care to have a look for it .The weather lately has been a bit grim so as it was a light drizzle and windy tonight i decided on a look out on my own .Arrived at the farm in daylight as it had been seen at various times from dusk onwards .I chose to sit up on a stack of silage bales and to keep quiet as the foxes here are notoriously shy .As the last light went out the sky ,i saw a fox running down the far hedge ,about 150 yds away .A shout only made him run faste
