Take away meal

Fox caught a wood pigeon (NOT FOR OUR YOUNGEST PUPILS)

Saving something for a rainy day

Time for a late night snack

Time to look after yourself

Foxes are opportunist, so any chance they can find a free meal they will take advantage off. In this case a trash can with some food remains.

Oh there it is

Fox - cat meeting, how is waiting outside the gate?

Harvestman

It catches its insect prey by using hooks on the ends of its legs. These arachnids defend themselves by secreting a foul-smelling fluid. If they are caught, they are able to shed a leg to escape.

Fox leaving its 'calling card'

One fox visits, hours later the other sniffs it out and scent marks

No not the right spot

Quick sniff and off

Update 05.11.21
The badger and the fox ……
This is what Fox Behaviour Expert Prof. D Scott thinks is going on:
Looks like the badger is marking it as a territory. The Fox then comes along and tries to bury the badger sent with its nose. Presumably this is because the fox also wants it as a territory due to the fact that it’s on a border and it is the only area where the animals can pass through. So it looks like the fox is trying to cover the scent of the badger.
Lots of foxes visiting
