Foxy
Foxy in December 2007


“Foxy” is our back-garden friend, a female red fox who’s been visiting us almost every day since early 2007.

I’ve created a motion detection application called “Foxy Detector” which, when connected to a webcam watching our garden, alerts us whenever Foxy visits.


Photos

We have a photo gallery on PBase of Foxy and her cubs, as well as one or two other foxes who occasionally visit our garden:

Videos

I recorded about 96 minutes of footage of Foxy in our back garden during September and October 2007, and then edited it into a 13-minute movie with some suitable guitar music:

I used iMovie 08 to edit this video on our 24-inch aluminium Intel iMac.  Click on the image below to view a screenshot of the video being edited:

During my filming of Foxy in September 2007, I managed to capture this great moment when Foxy spots a squirrel on the other side of the garden, and prepares to chase it:

We feed Foxy with dog food – here’s a video of her enjoying her dinner in our back garden in September 2009:

Foxy’s cubs

Here’s a rather sweet photo of one of Foxy’s three cubs in the spring of 2008

More sweet photos of the cubs are available on our PBase gallery.

Here’s a short video of the three cubs playing in our neighbour’s garden:
