Fox about town

I'd just spent a couple of hours talking about foxes with people dressed as foxes and sporting pictures of foxes... and what happens when I get to St James' Park?

Poor fox, I think he wanted to get away. At first I thought he was after eggs and young birds. Maybe a bit of both.

The pelicans were all asleep on their rock. Too far away. Elsewhere, ducks and geese with this year's young. I fed bits of apple to greylag geese. Squirrels took seeds from people - as did the pigeons and parakeets.

the signs say not to feed them, but watching people connecting with the animals, keeping still and quiet, feeling the thrill, I thought that despite health risks (to the animals) it's not such a bad thing... better than a zoo... and maybe it helps us care? We love to be close to wild creatures.
