I'm used to tabby cats (my Tabitha and one without a white nose), pheasants, squirrels, blackbirds etc. but this was a new visitor.
My first thought was "not seen a ginger cat round here"..."it's big". A fox. Went and stood still behind the monkey puzzle tree with just nose and tail showing. Then carried on walking down the drive towards the house and through the hedge into next door's garden.
I've seen them around but not in the garden, though I might have heard them at night (and when I had hens there were a few raids).
I sometimes see evidence of badgers too, but only seen them when driving.
