BBC journo Sean Clare captured this video of the fox before it spotted the duck.

Cue horseguards galloping in with yells of tally-ho
We need our politicians to be this brazen about their right to be in Downing Street
During the passage of the Hunting Bill in the Lords (where of course it did not pass and had to await the Commons invoking the Parliament Act) I overheard one of the doorkeepers telling someone that a fox had been apprehended in the Library Corridor in the early hours of the previous night. I butted in and joked that we ought to call in the nearest Hunt in all their hunting gear to deal with the problem. The doorkeeper looked at me with a severe expression and said: “Oh no, My Lord, that would not be appropriate. The security staff dealt with the matter.” I still don’t know if it was a deadpan joke or a seriously shocked comment.
