Can foxes climb trees?

As you can see from my photo, the answer is yes!

Mia the fox

Mia the fox, jumped into the tree, rather than climb using her claws!
I spent a lovely day at Secret World Wildlife Rescue recently with Pickle-Lily watching this lovely fox snoozing in the sun. We also met some very cute badger and fox cubs and found out about the incredible work this charity does.

During the day we sold some of our animal themed goodies, which P arranged according to the animal.

Secret World have more open week-ends across the year, the dates are on their website, and even better it's free admission. P and I are definitely going back if only to say 'Hello' to Mia!

A clan, an array, a scurry and a skulk

I realised the other day that I didn't know the collective noun for a group of badgers, so I looked it up, and one of them is a clan, I really like that, don't you?

Badger badges

I have been invited to take part in a local wildlife rescues weekend fund raising event - based on badger cubs, the only proviso being that I can only sell animal themed goodies. So I have been busy tweaking the hedgehogs ( an array of hedgehogs by the way), have left the foxes as they are ( a skulk), added a squirrel badge to the collection ( a scurry) and created a badger.
I must say that I am very pleased with my badger - he is now on needle books, badges and notebooks.

If you would like to come and meet some badger cubs Secret World Wildlife Rescue is open from Friday 18th to Monday 21st April, and Pickle-Lily will be there on the Monday for the day.
You can see my original woodland animals here.
