Fox Cubs on the Ross

Yesterday, after I had collected Jess from the local child care club, we were driving backdown the road to our house, past a piece of our neighbours ground which we call The Ross. he has recently fenced it off and planted a very young hedge, it is probably entered into an enviromental scheme.
Jess pointed to the gorse bush and said "look mum two rabbitts, no two cats, no I think it's two little foxes!"
She was right two small fox cubs, the size of cats were playing by the gorse bush, no sign of a larger adult. I pulled the car in by the road put the window down and turned off the engine. the two didn't even acknowledge our presence they carried on scampering and play fighting, jumping over each other.
Jess was thrilled to bits,"I've never seen two fox clubs playing before she said" and I had to admit that I never had either.
During Lambing time I had seen a big wirey fox several times in broad daylight hanging around the bushes or crossing the road so he was obviously something to do with them. There has also been an explosion of rabbit population in that area and so they have obviously had plenty of rabbit pie to dine on, and that's why we didn't loose many lambs this year.
As we moved on Jessie said "it's very strange mum, you wouldn't think that a fox and a rabbit would make very good next door neighbours"
Too right Jessie that's the law of nature.....................
