England: Feeling Foxy ?? – February Photographs From Pauline.

Animal Buddy Pauline has sent me some new photographs which were taken in Greenwich Park, London; home of The Royal Observatory, home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Prime Meridian, all located within Greenwich Park at the top of the steep hill overlooking the Queen’s House and the National Maritime Museum.

During Pauline’s visit to the park with her dad; who you can see feeding one of the the local urban Foxes in some great pics, she was able to take several pictures which are reproduced here. So enjoy a visit to the Royal Park of London via the links and photos;

Regards Mark and Pauline.

Pauline’s dad feeds the very tame fox:

I think that the majority of London’s urban foxes probably do well, considering the look of this guy. Some people still hate them, but many people welcome them in the City and often put out some food for them. If people see any fox(es) in trouble then there is the National Fox Welfare Society (NFWS) who can be called out for rescues anytime within the M25 region.

Here is a link to their website which provides further information and pictures. If you see a fox with mange and wish to treat it yourself, then the NFWS will send you out FREE Arsenicum / Sulphur liquid which will treat when put onto jam sandwiches and dough nuts etc. It must never be put on meat as the benefits are nullified.

Make a note of these organisations and phone numbers in case you ever need them to help you.

If like us you are based very near to London in Kent, then we have the ‘Fox Project’ who can also be contacted for advice and an emergency Southern Wildlife rescue ambulance Network.
