Saw two foxes today at Cambridge University Botanic Garden. They were just a few feet from people standing watching them. A mallard couple in the stream didn’t seem to feel any need to move as the foxes came to the edge of the water.
One of the foxes had longer fur and was a little bigger than the other, but both were small. Were they are male and a female, perhaps? Young siblings perhaps?
More Chafer Grubs
On another topic, there were lots of fresh divots of grass and soil turned over on the main lawn – more crows after chafer grubs. From the number of divots of disturbed grass and soil, there must be a lot of. chafer grubs.
Cherry Tree
Also at Cambridge University Botanic Garden today, a Yoshino Cherry (Prunus x yedoensis) in bloom. The flowers are white when they are out, but tinged with pink when the buds are closed or just opening.
