Foxy Bingo

Today's image is of a fox which has started to appear in our back garden over the last few days. We're not sure if it is a male (a dog fox) or a female (a vixen) but it is in a very healthy condition with a wonderful coat, bushy tail and bright eyes.
We've had foxes in our garden several times over the last few years, including a litter of cubs. They usually emerge from what we call "the jungle" at the top of our garden - it's a very unkempt area with brambles and scrub but they seem to love having some ground cover to retreat to.
We have been leaving some food out for our fox and it has now returned for four or five days in a row - it seems to like a varied diet, we've left out some fruit (dates and grapes), a few vegetables and slices of chicken and it has eaten the lot. We are being careful not to leave out too much food - just the equivalent of a small snack.
I realise the title of today's blip is the name of an online bingo site but for some reason it has stuck in our minds and every time the fox returns one of us shouts "Foxy Bingo's back". It's such a privilege to be able to get so close to a wild animal.

Today was also FA Cup semi-final day. Liverpool (the team I support) v Manchester City at Wembley.
I thought it was a bit of weird game to be honest. There was a strange team selection from Pep Guardiola, Liverpool scored three unanswered goals before half time, partly thanks to a goalkeeping howler from City's Zac Steffen, then let two goals in in the second half and almost gave away an equaliser. Don't get me wrong I was delighted that Liverpool won but it was all oddly unsatisfying.
