The very first casualty of 2009 was a fox, brought in by the RSPCA after it was found tangled in netting.
Wildlife often gets itself into trouble around netting of all kinds, garden netting, football and tennis nets, netting covering ponds, they all make good traps for unsuspecting animals going about their business.
It is a good idea to try to make sure nets are kept away from where they can cause problems - games nets should be taken down or tied up out of the way when not in use and other types should be regularly checked to make sure nothing is trapped in them.
This fox was lucky and lives to see at least a bit more of this New Year. He was carefully untangled from the net at the Hospital and as there were no injuries, he was taken straight back to where he came from and released back into the wild.
