Sighting

Yesterday afternoon, Ragtip snoozing on M's lawn. I went down garden and looked across the wall between us.

Ragtip may very well be the stocky male that we called Broadhead, has that chunky build, and the tail-tag is now just more ragged and tattered.

Neither of the other foxes matches the descriptions from last year;
