Other garden habitats
Fox
The fox has reddish-brown fur, a white chest and a bushy, white-tipped tail, called a brush. Foxes are widespread and quite common throughout Britain, and a surprising number live in towns.
February
If you regularly go out into the garden at daybreak, you will notice the birdsong increasing as the days get longer. Male birds are starting to mark out their territories ready for mating and the nesting season. Natural food supplies may be in short supply, especially when deep frosts persist.
