Fox

I have just looked out from my roof window looking out onto the Wyrley and Essington Canal and have seen an animal that is very common in urban areas at night, I am talking about the fox. In my opinion I am quite lucky because I have just had a brilliant view of not one, but two foxes. They were not fighting or competing for territory. They were probably about 200 metres apart and were unaware of each others presence. There are two paths on the section of the canal by me, one that is wide, leading from the bridge and away from the water (or in this case Ice) lets call it Path 1, and there is a second path which leads from the main path which is more narrow and closer to the water, Lets call this Path 2. I saw the first fox come along Path 2 on the canal and then cut through the undergrowth to get to Path 1, i also saw the second fox do exactly the same thing. Strange or what? I don't know if this is normal behaviour, please comment if you have a knowledge of a fox's behaviour. here is a photo, i know it isn't the best but it is all i could get because it is very dark.
