Because foxes are very adaptive and intelligent, they are thriving in urban areas in the Southwest of England. This fox was regularly seen just a few minutes before or after people passed by the camera. Did you know, foxes have the amazing ability to use the earth's magnetic field to judge the distance and direction of their prey.

Cherry Laurel

The cherry laurel, Prunus lauracerasus, is not a true laurel. This is a common invasive non-native plant in our woodlands. It competes with native plants and is hard to eradicate. The plant and its cherries should not be eaten.
