That mangy fox is still alive and kicking and actually looks reasonably well fed.It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks like whether the mange clears up and the fur grows back or,what is commonly thought,that they mostly die of the disease.This one is fat enough to show it,s still feeding well enough so we shall see.The roe have gone,presumably feeding on the new hazel bud tips but this muntjac shows occasionally as do the fallow,albeit not with the frequency that they did in the dark months........

Pheasant just walks past mangy fox
In an everyday world a pheasant wouldn,t just walk past a fox as it looks like one has done here but this fox has got a pretty bad case of mange and it looks like it,s very uncomfortable to say the least.Excrutiatingly painful would probably be more accurate and a very commonplace sight as well at the moment as i,ve seen a lot of mangy foxes around but not seen them twice so i would assume they actually die of it.....
