Cocooning Offaly farmer strikes up unlikely friendship with wild fox during lockdown

AN IRISH farmer has struck up a surprising new friendship with a wild fox during lockdown. Farmers and foxes have, historically speaking, never really seen eye to eye. That certainly used to be the case for retired dairy farmer Tony Bergin. But things changed just over two months ago when the 90-year-old was ordered to stay indoors at his home near Roscrea as part of the government’s strict measures for halting the spread of coronavirus. Lockdown has proven a trying time for everyone, especially those forced to cocoon at home away from their immediate family and friends. Advertisement Tony, however, soon found himself in good company, as RTE reports. At some point during those early, uncertain, weeks a wild fox began paying him regular visits.
