Our #allotment has a #fox mum and at least one pup. That pup is now a teenager, and is not particularly afraid of people, often hanging around near people while they work etc.

Up until today I’d only seen the pup from a distance, but today I accidentally surprised it while walking through the #gardens

It doesn’t seek out attention or anything, but it isn’t particularly skittish either… so enjoy this photo of a teen fox 🦊

It’s a bird city

Cork City, where birds have become incredibly adept at turning human carelessness into dining opportunities.

Urban-adapted birds like the seagulls and crows photographed here have developed significantly different behaviours compared to their rural counterparts. City-dwelling seagulls often show reduced fear responses to humans and have learned to time their foraging around peak human activity periods, such as lunch hours when dropped food is most available.

Crows, meanwhile, have demonstrated remarkable problem-solving abilities in urban environments and can even learn to associate specific locations with regular food sources. Studies have shown that urban bird populations often have different dietary compositions, stress hormone levels, and even song patterns compared to rural birds, reflecting their adaptation to city life and the constant presence of human activity.
