 Just that anyone interested in the Bristol fox deaths.

10 11 2021 another dead fox recovered. Could be road traffic accident (RTA) but there are some questions relating to the death and how it was found.

10 11 2021 a dead fox was reported in BS16 (a foca;l area for deaths of foxes) and the reportee was asked to send a photo and whether there were any suspicious circumstances. No further response.  A photograph of the fox in situ allows us to make a preliminary judgement about whether it could be RTA or may fall  into the Fox Death Project criteria.  Zoe Webber who collects any foxes drove to the area but there was no evidence of a dead fox.

A photograph also shows that we are not dealing with a hoax.

08 11 2021 Received a report of a possible dead fox in a rubble bag -a local man had threatened to kill local badgers and foxes which would have been a wildlife crime. The reportee was going to double check the baf=g and then get back to me. I have heard nothing since.

Bristol City Council has refused to respond to a request for information regarding the rodenticides it and its contractors use. To date Bristol City Council has refused to continue its promised cooperation on fox deaths andrefuses to respond to correspondence.
