Graham Knight Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 There are often two three deer in my garden in the early morning - see pic of two about to munch on one of my plum trees. I keep seeing foxes late at night on the coast road between Findon and Cove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 There's a posse* of otters in cruden bay at the moment. My dad's been going down to see them for the past few days. in fact, cruden bay harbour/beach area is great for wildlife getting up close. Dolphins, seals, etc. I saw an urban fox last night but I'll tell my folks to keep their yaks peeled for their slack jawed bredrin.*not the official collective noun.

Deers are constantly startled and badgers always seem lost and down on their luck but foxes are great to watch, always up to something.

framheim Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 No foxes yet, but in the two months since I moved into my flat I've seen a pheasant, ducks, squirrels, oystercatchers and, most exciting of all, bats in my garden. I'm going to invest in a pair of night vision goggles at the earliest opportunity in order to check them out properly.i get heaps of bats in my garden too, they're fucking ace. damn hard to photograph though!

Chris Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 A couple of months ago I saw two foxes stroll through the Talisman car park in broad daylight. That was pretty cool. Not seen any out the road though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 You occasionally see foxes in the area between Aberdeen and Cults (top of Jacob's ladder). A woman who lives in the lane that connects Jacob's Ladder to Hazlehead woods used to feed them. I suppose it must be a well-known fox-route, as 'FoxLane' nursery used to be not far away.I saw foxes in Glasgow a couple of months ago (on the outskirts, towards Milngavie).

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Love how it has to specify rural foxes, given that they are all over the cities. Only ever saw a couple in Aberdeen, but have seen a few in the WE of Glasgow, including my backie, 1 minute fae Byres Rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 have seen a few in the WE of Glasgow, including my backie, 1 minute fae Byres Rd.Last year we flew from Glasgow airport to Gatwick for our flight to Orlando, and as we dropped the hire car off the night before we flew, a fox wandered past us outside the airport with a bacon roll in it's mouth. True story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
