Imagine our shock realising we were not alone. Not so much house-share but garden-share. Bold as brass, a red, bushy-tailed invader strutted around our garden as if he owned the joint!

Resourceful, maybe, but we couldn't see how he got there, our garden being closed off with high fences. I watched him leap up onto a garage roof though, acting as king of the castle - passing through?

His lair was well-hidden, two entrances, each under a shrub.

Thank you Internet. The successful solution was a pint of pee. That pissed off Mr Fox, who pissed off!

    Thanks..but apparently it must be pee of the male variety, Frenchie. It's apparently territorial stuff and nature's testosteronic hierarchy!

    Thanks Thomas. I applied the solution to the fox holes I discovered, but apparently, another good way is to relieve yourself all along your boundary. All that enclosed then becomes a 'no-go' area for the fox.
