Fox in Hughes

["Baird, Ian" <>]

In my experience, foxes are always present in suburban Canberra. For example, if you want to keep laying hens, they must have fox-proof accommodation at night, although I have also lost hens from straying dogs-off leash (ie. during the ‘morning walk’ with their owner!).

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.

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?
