Fox filmed playing swingball in back garden in Essex

A woman has told how she managed to film a fox playing swingball in her back garden.

Tracey Day saw the animal playing with the child's toy at her home in Canvey Island, Essex.

She said: "I watched it for about 10 minutes through the window so I thought, I'm going to go outside and see if it runs away and it didn't."

The RSPCA said foxes are "most numerous in areas of low-density, suburban housing" but are wary of people and would normally run away.
