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.
