Fox in your garden

Price: £7.95

Doreen Kings 'In Your Garden' series are without a doubt the best books for you and your garden wildlife.

The Red Fox is one of the largest wild carnivores in Britain, and reactions to it range from fear and hatred of an efficient killer to admiration for a beautiful, resourceful survivor. In this book, Dr Doreen King invites us to take a look at its eating habits, family life, and the advantages and disadvantages of living alongside humans. She tells us of its place in folklore and its long history as hunter and hunted, explaining its movement form the countryside to the town, so that now it can even be found scavenging on rubbish tips in city centres. She also advises how we can protect our livestock form the suburban fox and when and how we can help a fox that seems to be in trouble - and, most importantly of all, when we should leave it alone!

Doreen King won the first British Technology Group Prize for Research in 1984 and is a member of the Institute of Environmental Science and a Fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Science. She has been involved in conservation and rescue work for most of her life and runs a wildlife sanctuary at her home in Essex.

Squirrels In Your Garden was conceived after many years work by Dr Doreen King and her husband in providing a wildlife and rehabilitation service. The book provides a practical and no-nonsense approach to taking care of those squirrels which need some help form their human neighbours.
