We have flowerbeds at the front and the foxes try digging under the house. It has turned in an annual event - they dig by night, I fill in the hole during the day. Filing the hole with bricks and covering with earth has done the trick this year.


In protest they seem to have made a mess on the lawn and danced all over the car

Not mating season for Foxes .. Which is noisy.


Fox mating season

Foxes breed just once a year. The mating season begins in January when the screeching mating cries can be heard during the night and the early hours. A litter of four to five cubs is born about late March, and the cubs remain exclusively inside the den for about six to eight weeks.

Then what kind of creature is making that noise?! It?s horrible. It?s even waking my husband up and not even our crying kids at night (with the monitor on his side) will wake him up!

Aside from their faeces stinking up ours and our neighbouring gardens I've never really liked them. Memories of masssive chicken overkill (with only one or two chickens taken) and similar lambing situations I witnessed through childhood don't heal well. There's not much you can do though - killing your local foxes just frees up space for others to move in. Howl away Foxy!

I am always amazed how ignorant Country Folk are about Wild Animals.


Fox Hunting.. The Shooting of Foxes and the general persecution of Foxes has forced them to move into the cities.

They still have to overcome the dangers of Cars and other traffic but are safer here than in their natural

environment of the countryside.


Foxes are beautiful creatures and it is a privilege for all of us, especially children to be able to see them

on our streets.


Education not Ignorance..

There are different meanings to the word Ignorant


1. discourteous or rude


2. lacking knowledge or awareness .


I was not suggesting they were discourteous or rude.. impolite ? ill-mannered


I was suggesting they seem to lack knowledge of the Fox as a wild creature's needs.

Like the need to feed itself like all wild creatures.

      Love Dulwich rebranding as Turkish Restaurant

      By beansprout · Posted

      We are talking Sunday not Saturday! Is Saray the one opposite Brockwell Park? Think it is - always quiet when we have been there but we eat early - forgot that one. Thanks. Food was ok not bad not good but staff are nice - that was six  months ago. Ohh excellent as you are a veggie too.. Will check out Dai Due Fratelli - thanks. No Thai I am referring too is up a few shops from Oxfam Book Shop…

      I think the Italian you are talking about was the old pizza place which is now closed and chicken shop in it's place? There is a nice Thai restaurant called Chern Thai on Grove Vale that should be open at lunchtime Saturday. I am veggie too btw. Peachy Goat in Herne Hill is good, but depends on the ask as it's kinda burgers and pasta and not the cheapest. I tried the Turkish in Herne Hill, Saray, round the corner Saturday before last and will be quiet but the owner is super sweet and it's not expensive. If you are happy with pizza / pasta, you could also do Dai Due Fratelli which is good food, friendly and attentive service at good prices on Lordship Lane.

      Thanks pinkeyes - not what we are looking for lunch on Sunday. Prob saved Eats Dulwich time too! umm not sure what to do about Love Dulwich - gather guys and staff that ran it no longer do— not impressed with bloke I spoke to and doubt it will be busy on Sun - would love to be proven wrong ….. just have a bad vibe but we will see. Never had a problem with Vietnamese place as been there many time - but not for six months - might just trot down on Sat and see if staff are still the same. Johnnies have new team as well! Gail’s closed - that is not a surprise as was going down hill when I last went. Well folks, can anyone suggest anywhere else? That offers more than a green or mixed salad for my vegetarian folk? Can be Asian or Thai as well - anyone been to the place on Half Moon Lane near Bookshop or has that changed hands as well.. Might just settle for pizza in West Dulwich along Rosendale Road unless they have changed chef and hands. Must be somewhere in East Dulwich that caters for the odd vegetarian - maybe not but find it amazing that nothing in East Dulwich.           What is the Italian like in the side road by East Dulwich Station? Think folk have mentioned it was good - no idea what it is called.

      Yes, that was why I deleted my post! Only not in time, it seems! I realised I had mixed up two restaurants!
