User's notes

Found these tracks in the creek bed just through the gate to the reserve. They appear canine to me either fox or dog. No foot prints were near it so I assume not a dog. The foot print is mine for scale.

Hi Ct1000, probably fox alright, which is a good thing if they are still working on rabbit eradication, as I expect. If you reported it to Parks and Cons, I hope you gave them a pat on the back for ecologically intelligent control.

Ah great to know. I had assumed it was past that stage of control. Thanks Don! I didn't report it to the rangers.
