It is thought the fox is rearing young on an island in the middle of a nature reserve.

The way they speak of this fox, you would think It will become a star in a new Disney movie ffs. Just wait until those ducks get comfortable enough and they will see how ingenious a swimming fox can be ie: catching ducks and ducklings.

Must be one of those new vegan foxes

My experience is, foxes will always keep their feet dry, if possible, although I have seen them cross rivers when chased.

Likely she’s raising a litter there due to the abundance of food

my local RSPB reserve. An epitomy of a predator sink. A wetland reserve with extensive reedbeds and wet grassland. Perfect for breeding lapwings, curlew, ducks and geese etc. But they allow a fox to raise a litter plumb in the middle, in addition to maybe ten pairs of marsh harriers nesting. Hardly anything rears any young. The RSPB do not protect birds here, they provide them as food for predators (not that anything can be done about the plethora of harriers - bar the hope the foxes eat them as well.
