I've just had a close encounter with a fox. Was outside having a smoke, quite often see a fox trotting down our road at night, saw it coming along the footpath, car coming up the road so he just trotted across our garden, hopped up on my neighbours wall, literally about 4ft from where I was standing, and just sat there. Car went past, he jumped down and continued on his way.
When I've seen it before its always just trotted past, doesn't seem bothered by people, disturbed it once in our back garden and it just walked off, didnt run. Mind you, could be a different fox, but whatever, not a sight you see often in a town, at least I dont think so.
