What a great photo - where was it taken? Is she really that unfazed by people?

The foxes are regulars in the garden, often with their cubs, but are not approachable (think we prefer it that way). (I am adding two from May 2011). We think their 'home' is a couple of gardens away. This was taken from a bedroom window with a decent lens. The vantage point also captured a video a couple of years ago of a sparrowhawk pulling a collar dove from the bird bath but it's not family viewing! Most amazing was the finale when it took off with the dead dove in its claws like a helicopter - the dove must have been heavier than the hawk.

Actually it was a woodpigeon, not a dove

there was a fox in my garden a few weeks back, i watched it jump over the fence, walk towards me then go into my workshop and sit on the sofa, anyone would think i'd tamed the thing! i shouted at it and told it to bugger off but it just looked at me, i left the workshop and it casually walked to the end of the garden where it was startled by my cat! soon enough they will be pets!
