Irish farmers forge unlikely friendships with wild foxes during coronavirus pandemic

Some unusual friendships have developed between a number of Co Offaly farmers and wild foxes, largely due to restrictions associated with Covid-19.

Retired dairy farmer Tony Bergin is cocooning at home near Roscrea.

A wild fox began visiting his home over two months ago, and since then, the trust and friendship between the two has developed.

Now every evening after his tea, the 90-year-old brings food out to the yard to the fox.
