When I lived in Abingdon I never once saw a fox, which was a shame because my son adores them. Then I moved to Brighton and Hove and saw no end of urban foxes until my son moved there too! Now I’m in Lincolnshire and haven’t seen any…yet.
This time last week I was watching a family of 6 cubs from my bedroom window. I have only seen one or two this week so wonder if the others have left home.
Im right in the dead centre of town and I watch foxes most nights of the week, along with the occasional muntjack and even a roe deer in the day time the other day. You just got to keep your eyes open i reckon.
I phoned the rspca, and a fox rescue, and tiddywinkles animal hospital about this poor little baby, and none of them would come and get it because I couldn’t get it locked in my garden!! Poor little thing was terrified, kept running into walls, could hardly walk, falling up and down curbs… then I see he’s been killed near town.
All they had to do was come to abingdon and get him, but they wouldnt 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 poor poor lil thing…
A few months back i saw an adult fox proudly strolling across the front lawn of the autistic school on marcham road at about 8am – totally unexpected.
If you mean the Unicorn School it’s for dyslexic children not autistic!
whoops!
on a sad note, i saw a small dead fox near the multi story this morning – maybe it’s him

i’ve seen a deer on the ock valley walk quite a few times over the years – 3 times in the last month next to the busy drayton road.
rush common school , north abingdon has seen deer and foxes in the last week. for a sercured site,we was amazed to see them.
we also get the odd badger strolling through and during frog spawn season we are visited by a dasterdly heron. he’s gobbled up all our taddies
Sooner or later some bright spark will suggest forming the Abingdon Hunt.
Tally Ho!
