Pete Taylor kindly sent us this photo which he shot in his garden in Fulshaw Park, Wilmslow on Wednesday, 2nd August.
Pete said "We seem to have a vegetarian fox - it's quite happy to eat wind-fall plums and apples (I keep the Cumberland sausages for myself)!"

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Foxes do tend to eat a lot of fruit (berries and windfall apples) at the end of summer and into Autumn, I assume to stock up on the calories to cope with the winter.
They also bury eggs for later, if the raid a hen house and there is a glut of eggs. I found a an about 6 inches down in on of my flower beds once.
We do seem to have a healthy population of foxes and rabbits in the village.
