TALK about an unexpected guest at the table. This fox may have escaped the Ledbury hunt for now, but he was captured on camera by a nearby villager.

Jan Long spotted the animal visiting the bird table and feeding station at her home in Bromesberrow Heath.

The fox helped himself to a plate of suet and fat mealworm, put down for a family of seven moorhens, early last weekend.

“Even though I tapped on the windowpane, the fox simply glanced at me before finishing his breakfast,”

said Mrs Long.
