The vixen and four cubs appeared in the garden over the weekend. The largest cub has black legs and the smallest (see pic) is extremely cute but appears to be blind in one eye and is getting far too tame, venturing up onto the deck and peering through the patio doors. If we're careful, we'll acquire a new pet and as Mum has the mange, this might be bad news for the cat...

Thanks for posting the fox pictures. Incidentally, I read somewhere of something you can put in the food you put our for foxes which clears up the mange problem. I'll check through my bookmarked sites and see if I can find it for you.
Found the site! It's http://www.nfws.org.uk/
It was me who posted the fox mange cure. It's homeopathic and you put drops on the fox's food. With so many around, I couldn't be sure of the vixen getting it. The cubs always reach the food first. I shall have to wait till they go off to their own territories, then try and nurse the vixen through the winter.
Good luck with that, Hydra.
I must've read the fox cure thing on your Hillingdon blog.
