Hard to make a logical answer to the question, when you are describing one. I once had one in my yard. I find many dead on Tuggeranong Parkway.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Fox in Hughes
When I was walking along Wisdom Street as it meets Yamba Drive I heard noisy alarm calls made by Australian Magpies, Magpie-Lark and Noisy miners. Then I saw a fox in front of no. 52 house and it ran along front gardens of neighbouring
houses. It was 12.15, broad daylight. My dog, which is afraid of other dogs, tried to chase it and it was definitely a fox.
Are they that common in Canberra?
