Cheeky FOX hides behind the TV!

[@AndyM_323YYY]

The disguises the BBC TV Licensing Inspectors use these days are amazing.

[@wildlifeaid]

Haha! Darn it... foiled...

[@evolgrinz3202]

I just love it how Simon is always talking to the animals when catching them, it's so sweet and shows how much he cares about the animals.

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks so much :)

[@kimkimba1131]

I agree. He has such a calm voice and relaxed attitude that it seems, even though the animals are scared, they know he is there to help

[@pascalcoole2725]

Virtual hug for Simon.

[@GiacomodellaSvezia]

From what I've read and heard and from my own experience, feral animals feel less threatened when you talk. Body language may also be understood by species that use it. I'm curious to know what Simon and the rest of the team can tell us about this.

[@mariarohmer2374]

He is the best. Now how do we clone him a million times over?

[@wylancslass]

I had a horrible feeling that the TV was going to topple! Well done! Lovely rescue and release.

[@wildlifeaid]

Luckily not! Thanks for the support!

[@secret3957]

I guess the fox sensed what a kind man you are Simon. You are so sweet the way you talk to the animal. I can watch your videos for ever. Thank you for being you Simon.

[@jjkusaf]

Nice extraction. TV didn't get shattered, wall didn't get scratched up. Seemed like a cool Fox who had just lost its way temporarily.

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks very much! :)

Fan from the USA. I admire how quickly you captured that fox! He didn't seem perturbed at all, just a little fuss. I'm glad it wasn't a matter of illness, just being in the wrong place. Watching them being released in their own backyards is the biggest highlight. Thank you.

Can someone get this man a new pair of shoes? His left shoe looks nearly done and he helps all these poor animals

[@cajsheen2594]

They are comfortable and the creatures don't give a damn about what footwear their saviour has! X

[@wildlifeaid]

Don't worry, Simon has several pairs of shoes for rescue work! We tend to use older pairs as they are often damaged or soaked during our rescue work :)

[@Optimismus53]

I'm slowly starting to suspect, that word has got around among the fox population, that a very nice man with a soft voice comes by, when fox goes into a residential building. so, watch until the door ist open, enter the house, and then wait.

[@wildlifeaid]

Haha! That would explain a lot...

[@anatolydyatlov3105]

Was hoping to hear Simon's famous "don't be silly" catchphrase 🥺

Haha it certainly makes things easier, though they are a lot easier to knock off!

[@tonymaries1652]

Well executed rescue, but wouldn't it be a good idea to remove the light and the TV in case they get accidentally knocked over and smashed by a very nervous fox desperate to make a bid for freedom?
