Only One Stuck Around To Be Photographed

Very early Friday morning, I kept hearing unhappy fox-noises. It woke me up twice - in case you've never heard foxes, they sound like a cross between a siamese cat yowling and a baby being tortured. This sounded even worse; seemed like something had really upset the fox.

Then, when it had gotten light out, I heard them again. Yes, not one but two foxes, snarling at one another on the roof of the garages out back. One of them jumped down and lit out across the neighbours' back garden as I got to the window, but the other stuck around long enough to pose for photos.

I have no idea how they got up there.

They're surprisingly good at jumping and climbing. We once saw one jump up on to our wall like a cat. Maybe there's a bench, or a covered water-butt or something that you can't see from where you are, that would provide a handy jumping-off point.

As to why they got up there, your guess is as good as mine.
