During the second week, I made a decision to change my site. However, it was only a few hundred meters away from my original location. I found the initial park too large, making my research difficult. The new site, Foxham Gardens, is smaller and more secluded. it’s also one of the parks I pass on my way home.
The first time I saw the entrance to this park, I was utterly amazed. It was completely covered in trees, with a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground. It felt like an ecological paradise in North London.
I conducted a detailed investigation of the entrance. It was evident that the foxes were unaware of the iron gate’s purpose; they often opted for alternative entry points, such as the wider gaps between the railings.
Foxes are omnivorous animals, so they feed on both human leftovers and berries found in parks. Therefore, I attempted to survey all locations within the park where they could potentially forage.
From my observations, the foxes here are quite wary of humans, so most of the time I can only observe and record them from a distance of about 20 meters. This means they tend to prefer narrow, shady paths over wide, man-made roads.
As an outcome of this photographic observation, I created Foxham Gardens map guide tailored for different subjects.
I categorized users into cyclists, pedestrians, and foxes.
