Is this common or are fox rare there?

The foxes are precious but my eyes are drawn straight to how cluttered the shed is. So much potential for a nice sitting area, or anything really, going to waste.

It is an AirBnB place

They have a lot of outdoor furniture in there for people wanting to hold parties in the garden

I love foxes!

Must be warm up there. And safe

I’m guessing you guys don’t have a very big eagle population there

It has been freezing recently, and yes I agree, they must have noticed that the roof is warmer than the ground.

Also they are out of reach of the local dogs

Cool shed/cabin, but wouldn't a storage unit be better for storing junk/trash.

Correct, although the last few years we have had a growing population of parakeets.

But they are no threat to the foxes

Urban foxes are very common in London They were pulling our rubbish /garbage bags apart last year, so the whole area finally got food recycling bins

It’s an AirBnB place , they don’t seem to care about that, just that they have outdoor furniture to allow them to rent the place out for parties in the garden

I see foxes are the racoons of England.

Yeah exactly

They are sooooo cute

But they are a pest and I can see why people don’t want them around

But they are adorable….

These look smaller than the ones I see in the US

Could be, British foxes are smaller than a Border Collie and have a slight build

Racoons can be pretty adorable when they don't catch you by surprise in the dark.

Nothing is funnier than catching a family of racoons trying to ransack a garbage can... They all kind of stare at you with their little masked faces just hoping you'll leave them alone.

Until they wake you at 3:22 a.m. screaming in heat. Although frankly raccoons make a right ruckus too, fighting over who gets to go into the garbage can first.

So the foxes are bnb guests, and got the room with the best view.

Yeah I have had years of the foxes screaming at night, and a previous place I live had the awful fox smell at the end of the garden.

So I don’t mind if the “go away” but also - part of me still loves how cute they are

And don’t even pay - genius!

Yet. They're working on a plan on how to get bigger, stronger, faster; they hold secret races and give out prizes for "most improved". Their goal is world domination by 2040.

Safer there than in Nottingham I reckon

Local dogs got no chills

Turns out being hungry's a bitch...

r/nova is leaking into r/aww

All is see is three Firefox logos

They’re only a pest cause we’re dirty bastards who waste food and leave our shit around.

They don’t really cause any damage or issues aside from that.

Kestrels, sparrowhawks, maybe a buzzard on occasions, but eagles only really live on the north coasts of Scotland.

We do have red kites in parts of England too.

Just a FYI for Americans reading this post.

Rabies doesn't exist in the UK anymore, so urban foxes aren't likely to carry anything serious.

I believe the two brown ones are common while the orange one is legendary.

Do they keep the rat population down?

I remember hearing some noise with the garbage cans at night and turned on my phone's flashlight.

Over half a dozen pairs of eyes were staring back at me.

Interesting question, sadly I don’t know I hardly ever see any rats in London, certainly not enough to estimate if the numbers of them are changing

Foxes on the sheds of London

Solarfox.

I wonder to myself, could life ever be sane again?

Eagles only live in Scotland and the most isolated parts of Wales and England 👍

Likely waiting to be fed. They can be assholes. At least the one we have in UK. Old office place we had few of them and badgers.

Cleaning staff fed them almost daily and they multiplied fast to larger number. They were coming out at certain time expecting to be fed. When cleaning staff was replaced nobody fed them. Foxes started to bite car tyres and fight between each other. RSPCA animal care was called soon later they were gone probably relocated.
