As I write this I find my thoughts already turning towards the time of year when the foxes’ mating season is on the horizon. As is generally the case, since the start of October reports begin to come in of foxes starting to pair up. I too have seen pairs of foxes at this time of year but I’ve always found that they are invariably siblings that have been born in the current year and are just running together. Perhaps this happens as food slowly starts becoming that much harder to locate.
