Beth’s Foxes
These lovely pictures and story were sent to the website by Beth Hall. Thank you!
When I lived at 226 Flint Court, right at the back of the Hall, one spring I had a fox family in residence. It must have been 2011. The four kits were in a den under the bit of decking at the corner of the garden.
The parents didn’t live there; the kits only came out when mother came to visit. They were there for two months — until they were big enough to get over the wall. Sometimes they came out on their own at night, and I heard and saw them chasing each other around the big deck. One of their favorite things was to run and jump on top of the grass plants, or run across the top of the rosemary hedge.

Henry’s Beautiful Photographs
Temelec resident, Henry Ratz, has generously shared many lovely photographs he has taken around Temelec. Several are of the birds that visit our community. About the hawk, Henry writes:
The hawk picture deserves a special note: It is not every day one has a chance to meet one of these super-fast bird hunters at close range. I heard a commotion at the front door, jumped up and spotted this guy shaking himself. He apparently had just missed his breakfast – the quails feeding under the bushes near-by – and in the process misjudged the concrete by a wing span and slammed hard into it. It took him three minutes to recover and catch his breath, time enough for me to grab the camera and record this raptor in all its beauty
