This evening, on my way to the staff car park I virtually hand-fed a Fox!It happened like this.Now, bear in mind I've a full-length Hi-Viz coat on, and here are bright lights and busy roads.Nearing the car park I spotted a Fox trotting toward me - I thought unaware. On he came until he was within feet of me, as I froze on the ice-rutted spot; passed by as I swivelled to watch, then paused just beyond.I opened my butty-box and threw a few cashew nuts to the Fox: he approached and sniffed, then picked up each one and ate.Next: a mince pie! I threw the morsel to him and its lid came off. The Fox took the lid first and buried it nearby. Cars passed. Then the main piece with the fruit: he took that too and cached this under a shrub. Then, pausing for a last nut, he crossed the road and went on his way.Drove home grinning!</blockquote>
