A one-month old fox cub
found wandering around a
garden has been returned to
its den.
The cub was spotted in
Seaford on Easter Monday
before it was safely returned
to its parents by volunteers
from East Sussex Wildlife
Rescue and Ambulance
Service (WRAS).
WRAS founder Trevor Weeks
said: "This is our first cub of
the season and he needed to
be checked on and assessed
to see whether he had been
abandoned or just become
impatient waiting for his
mum."
The cub had strayed just 10
feet from the entrance to his
den under a shed but as
crows were diving at him the
homeowners decided to pick
him up and call for help.
Mr Weeks added: "This cub
had a nice full stomach and
was in good condition.
"Luckily the cub was just
wandering around next to
some bushes very close to
where the entrance to the
den was.

"I lowered my head so I
could listen for any other
noises coming from under
the shed and, sure enough, I
could hear the sounds of
other cubs."
After a full examination the
cub was placed by the
entrance to the den and soon
decided to join his siblings
inside.
In a separate incident over
the Easter weekend, Roger
Musselle saved Snowflake
the badger, baby squirrels
Puddle, Gale and Storm, and
rabbit Titch in his garden in
Woodingdean, Brighton.
