Bristol Fox Comes A Cropper With Litter

Bristol fox rescued from plastic

With the windy weather, it’s time to make sure plastic isn’t escaping from recycling bins and harming local wildlife.

A Montpelier fox almost became a cropper this weekend after a resident noticed it cowering in gardens trying to fight a plastic bag off of its head.

She managed to make contact with a lady who rescues foxes who got to it in the nick of time.

Despite hammering rain, the fox was coaxed out from garden decking and swiftly taken to a local vets for a check up.

When all was found to be well, the fox was returned to its stomping ground.

Our local fox got into a spot of bother. He had a tight plastic bag stuck on his head. A lady with expertise in foxes came across Bristol and in driving rain managed to persuade him out from under the decking and took him to the vets. After a check up he was back to his territory and let free for more adventures. #foxes #fox #animal #animalrescue #bristol

Today’s story was a vital reminder about how important it is for tins and jars to be secured from hedgehogs and plastic containers out of the way of foxes.
