An animal lover has caught the moment that a pair of foxes start playing in her garden late at night.

Dora Nightingale, 55, set up the camera to film the pair who regularly visit her home in Worthing, West Sussex.

She first spotted them earlier this year and became such a big fan she’s named them Woody and Willow.

She now leaves food and water out for them and after noticing they were chewing her plants she bought them chew toys.

They’ve even been spotted playing tug of war with one of the toys she left outside.

But the biggest surprise came recently when Dora filmed them using a trampoline.

She said: ‘Over the course of six weeks, I brought them many things to explore, a sock, a ball and they were growing, their curiosity progressed so I bought them a trampoline.

‘They really had fun and learnt how to pounce – they loved it. I really believe that foxes have a bad reputation and I am trying to change that.

‘I would advise people to observe them and get to know them. They are intelligent, beautiful and funny – and you might get “foxed” just like I did.’

Dora runs charitable organisation Fox Guardians and watches over another fox she has called Faith who has been visiting for the last three years.
