Our 24/7 livestream is visited by foxes and many other animals every day, and our great community for posting time stamps and identification of the animals have a busy time keeping track of all the animals.
We especially see a lot of fox activity at the moment, which is obviously due to the mating season here in January and February.

Until now we have never been lucky to see foxes mate or doing an attempt here on the livestream.
But on a cold February night this was exactly what happened :)
The entire runup to mating started around 00:23, where the fox activity increased, and after about one hour, the act appears.

Our dedicated community has made a timeline of activity (timestamps are related to the timestamp in the lower left corner of the video):
00:23 00:30 // Fox enters from the midleft. Walks over to the arch and starts to snack around. Looks to the right while eating. Takes off at a trot under the arch into the darkness.

00:31 00:32 // Fox trots in from up left to under the arch. Stops to sniff around under the arch. Exits to the right under the arch.

00:34 00:34 // Fox eyeshine under the arch moving from right to left.

00:35 01:01 // Fox enters from up left and snacks around fern hill. Quickly exits to the midleft.

01:01 01:14 // Fox enters from under the arch. Pauses and watches before entering the area to snack. Sits by the plum tree and eats his snacks while looking around. He's a fox of leisure. Exits at a trot under the arch to return and trot off midright.

01:14 01:14 // Fox comes from the bush, exit lower left. Fox comes out of the bush, passing behind the twigs on the right, returns. Exit up left.

01:15 01:15 // Another fox comes from the bush and runs through.

01:17 01:18 // Fox named Moonshine enters in low right, to snack. Being "disturbed", to say the least

01:18 01:19 // The male fox, called Bandido rushes in on Moonshine and they mate twice. Male fox exits off under arch. The female fox (Moonshine) exits in the low right.

01:19 01:20 // Wild chase from up right to up left. The mating male and possibly chased by another male fox called Blacksocks.

Apparently this mating attemp was not succesfull. Several males have flocked around her (Moonshine) and fought for her favour.
Hopefully we will se a male fox, have a succesfull mating with Moonshine soon.
