Sweet treats

-

As opportunis­t omnivores, foxes don’t waste late summer and early autumn’s fruit bounty. They will happily feast on blackberri­es or reach up to scrump low-hanging apples, pears and plums. In September, adults and cubs have both nearly finished growing their new coats for winter, and the juveniles are close to adult size. Competitio­n between young foxes, and between young and adults, can become fierce. The resulting scuffles may be noisy, with rivals chasing one another and squaring up on their hindlegs.
