We were up early this morning and my wife looked out of the back garden, down to the orchard... and saw this chap snoozing happily there.

He seems to love the windfall apples, and I don't begrudge him. Plenty to go around. Is he sleepy because a few have fermented and turned a touch alcoholic? No idea. But he's a beautiful young fox, and a real pleasure to see.

Would be nice if he'd take a rabbit or two with him on the way out though...
