Fantastic, could watch this over and over. Love foxes, love your garden.👍

Well that was lovely to watch.... Its magical when wildlife gets the confidence to seek out contact like that... Thank you..

Delightful! Thank you for persevering in your endeavours. Bringing tears to my eyes

Just amazing. Loved the video, put a huge smile on my face. 😁😁😁 Those cubs are so so cute

This is brilliant! We watched it twice xx love how you are coping and also keeping us company, enjoying nature in these weird times . Thank You

Absolutely Beautiful. ❤ Thankyou for sharing. From Bradford, west Yorkshire.

Wow - that is a great video Austin, and a real labour of love. They are fascinating and beautiful creatures, but you are a brave man encouraging foxes whilst keeping chickens. Last year unknown to us, we had a vixen set up her burrow / nest (?) under our shed. In the spring our elderly neighbour called to say that she thought there was an injured cat somewhere in her garden. After having a look under her big hedge, I found a small ball of fluff. At first I didn't realise it was a fox cub, as it didn't have the distinctive pointed snout. After calling the local wildlife rescue, they said it was common for vixens to hide their young pups a short distance from their burrow whilst she forages for food - and not to disturb it, but check if it was still there in 12hrs. Sure enough a few hours later the pup had disappeared. But within a couple of weeks, the vixen and her five pups (with grown snouts) became an early morning attraction in our garden - which was more of an overgrown jungle compared to yours. But they were almost impossible to catch on film, as nearly every time I went to get my camera they somehow sensed it and were gone. So kudos on your perseverance to capture such lovely footage. Was it a GoPro you setup in the garden? Anyway thanks for the upload, enjoy the fox family, but do keep your lovely chickens well guarded. ATB

What a lovely video. Our springer goes mental at the foxes when they run along our dry stone wall. Love your breakfast routine with Blackie. Keep safe and fit, ready to film more amazing trips once this craziness is over.

Beat video on KZfaq. Loved every second of it. Fox cubs are way to cute!

Hey Austin n Lucy..... you lucky lucky people.... how wonderful. Over the years I've caught sight of a few foxes in my back garden and even captured a few super photos.... but to have a family with four Cubs living under your shed and playing in your garden.... your blessed. 😃👍👍 Really enjoyed watching that.... magic. Cheers both... take care. Regards Steve.

You Have Traveled to Some Amazing Destinations..Yet Some of Greatest Adventures is Right in Our Back Yards...Thank You for Sharing..Wish You and Lucy Heath and Happiness

Just amazing, well done! Thanks for this.

That's a lovely busy garden full of life! So nice to see the foxes thanks for sharing that video.Take care guys.😀

That was brilliant, Austin. I truly enjoyed every second of the fox diaries. That was a heck of a rat as well. Hope you and Lucy stay safe.

Awesome, so glad I found this channel!

National Geographic! LOL. Great video. Loved it. Hope all is well on your end. Keep posting! Good stuff!

Great way to beat the lockdown boredom , cant think of a better pastime stuck at home.... Brilliant stuff.

The foxes are so neat!! Very cool! Happy hiking/biking!!

Fantastic video pal very entertaining, one of your best I believe.

That was a joy! 🤗💕Also it's so nice to see someone who keeps chickens actually encouraging Foxes and enjoying their company..more people need to see this! 😊🌸 Absolutely beautiful! Hope you're all well 🙏🌸 Looking forward to the next Fox Diaries video!! 🌸

Life never fails to surprise us and works in some wonderful ways at times Austin. With the sad period in your lives after losing Marley, the emptiness that his loss leaves, then life provides some joy to help repair some of the sadness. A new four legged friend or in this case friends, yes a totally different kind, but still a joy to watch and experience. The smiles return, the pain is calmed. Hope your well, take care, all the best, Bill.

Awesome, a great video. That was as enjoyable as your walking videos..although I can’t wait to get back out in the mountains. 👍

Loving this vlog thank you so much for the effort you put in 👍.. Lets be honest here when we tune into nature and its surroundings we (well most of us!) get blown away at what we are missing for sure..Thanks again i really appreciate what our heavenly father has given us 😊😊

What an amazing sight, you guys are so very luck. Keep safe 🍷

great video and glad to see you up rite and enjoying life!!!

Haha that was brilliant to watch and I often see foxes in the school grounds when I open up at 05.45 and love it. Bit dodgy have foxes in the same garden as your hens but as long as they all social distance, it should be fine lol. Wow that was some sized rat and we have been watch in some blackbirds build a nest a couple of feet away from out back patio doors and its been great to watch. You win hands down with those foxes mind that was so special, I loved it! Take care all, cheers Alan

Lovely video great to watch enjoyed

Amazing to see how much that fox trusts you hope both of you are doing well

That's magical, and I'm glad they are returning to your garden. A vixen brought three cubs to us once, but it was a single visit sadly.

Thank you so much, What an amazing video,I am bird obsessed at the moment and have semi tame starlings joining me every day for breakfast, but they are costing a bloody fortune as they seem to love suet bars and ignore the peanuts, bird seed and everything else. I had a resident fox a whle back I photographed using my pond as a watering hole and he put his head in my tent one night when I was garden camping, a very close encounter.

Lovely video, Austin! Stay safe and well. Cheers from California 🥃

Wildlife in the back yard doesn't get better than that. Tip on saving your cherries. Spray them with sugar water. They will be to sweet for the birds to eat. I work for Ag company in the states and we sell lots of sugar to the orchardist come harvest time. Keep being safe.

Morning sunshine what a great capture, Really enjoyed watching this 😊 Shan love's 🦊 hope you two are keeping safe and well mate atvb Ged and Shan 😄👍😎

Mate what a lovely video was intrigued to see how many cubs their were, really good editing loved ever minute of it, when’s the next one👍

That is so beautiful to see!

Magickal. A rare treat indeed.

What a lovely moment you shared there Austin.

That was great. Thanks for sharing it. I saw a couple of foxes this last week on two different hikes (we're not so locked down in rural Oregon), but didn't get nearly as close to them.

HOW AMAZINGLY EXCITING !! LOVED THIS .THINKING MAMA FOX NAME MARLIE ..

Seems you got some new pets ! And you keep them well fed ! Best wishes from Lisbon and Keep Safe !

How wonderful, cheers.

Excellent mate had the laptop off for 3 months so just catching up on vids , great vlog. ATB to everyone.

Great stuff Austin , your own little wildlife haven on tap . stay safe atb Dave

Ironic, keeping chickens and encouraging contact with Foxes, enjoyable watching though thanks for sharing. Be safe stay healthy best regards Paul.

Amazing, they look so relaxed and happy. This was better than autumn watch. Well done guys hopefully there’ll be more of this. Thank you

Fantastic...

superb video....enjoyed every minute.

Hey Guys, sorry I'm late to the party, been busy with my own self build motorhome. Ill have all the footage up soon so please swing by and have a look. Anyway what I want to add is my wife does the same and feeds 2 foxes In our garden everyday. I actually have to take care of foxes as well as other animals in the way of pest control for farmers and landowners, one off actually has around 60 chickens so it's a constant battle however the ones in our garden.... To me they ain't causing an issue and its beautiful to see and it's taken months for my wife to gain thier trust. Be mindful that whilst your feeding them and their happy then it's all good but if you guys go away on one of your trips then the foxes won't hesitate to have their fill on your chickens. Lovely chilled video, look forward to seeing you guys back out on the road or in the hills. Take care

Hi Austin & Lucy, Smashing video, love every aspect of Urban Wildlife and it doesn't get better than this, Looked out of the window the other evening around 2am and saw a fox on top of the clothing and shoe donation box that has been put there a couple of months ago, sometimes some idiots put household waste in there and the fox was trying to get into the deposit drawer but kept falling off onto the pavement below, seen him quite a few times now since lockdown, your family of foxes look well settled with their B & B facilities, hope you are both keeping well and safe, take care from both of us

Brilliant.

That was magic Austin the cubs are beautiful and full of mischief, and blacky is so tame, a real pleasure to watch, stay safe & well you and Lucy, ATB George.

Glad to see you and yours and doing fine. When you have birds or other wildlife around you can think of something other than the virus. I still miss Marlie, she was the best dog ever

thank u so much in these times for sharing so lovely, keep those hens safe xx

Quite the family there... They seem to know you mean them no harm for sure... You chicken pen must be sturdy...LOL

Funny that you dare to let the hens out when you know that ther are foxes around.... remember when we had hens in the free range, didn't always end happily for the hen's. But it was sick foxes sow they needed the protein! Faire winds! Barbro Sweden

Foxes are beautiful, love the Chickens with the feathers on there feet. tfs, Use to have Foxes around here, but now we have a Groundhog, under our Shed. Greetings from Virginia, usa

One of my cats used to play with fox cubs down the end of my garden when I lived in Blackwater. Great video. Xx

That was nice. A lot more enjoyable than all these lockdown 'camping in my back garden'..'what I carry in my rucksack..'reviewing a 1987 Millets kagoule' vlogs going out atm! Two dislikes so far I see. Obviously from the huntin/shootin fraternity!! Keep up the good work.

Blackie the blackbird! like it mate. Now, serious question as i'd value your opinion. Where do u stand on the to wildcamp or not to wildcamp current debate? we're allowed to walk in the countryside, and wildcamping is illegal anyway. So to me its just business as usual. I've been good and resisted up to now. But saturday i did meet up with an old mate and do one night in the woods. Curiously our preffered spot since the 80s where no bugger goes which is why we like it. Is now infested with dog walkers and mountain bikers everywhere right now. As far as i can tell as far as youtubers are concerned. The brits are the only ones not out filming. Survival lilly (Austria) and Joe robinet (canada) are out filming as per normal. Id love to hear your take on it.

Awesome

Nice to see and hear all the wildlife but I'm sure you won't be happy when that fox gets your chickens hopefully not atvb jimmy😎😎

:)

That's nice but gutsy what your are doing with those foxes. They may start trying to come into the house. Be careful they could carry disease. Sorry to be the negative sub. Just saying.
