Some close encounters with a local fox family. This is a very picture-heavy post.
Red foxes are found across all of the UK. (They are only absent from the Scottish Islands, except for the Isle of Skye.) Many numbers live in towns. It is estimated that the UK has a population of 240,000 animals.
Fox dig out dens to provide a safe underground space that is mostly used for raising fox cubs, also called kits. Foxes are scavengers and eat almost anything they can find, including insects, earthworms, fruit, berries, birds, small mammals, carrion and scraps left by humans.
I was wondering if would I see any foxes where I watched them last evening. When I arrived at the location this youngster was sat on the lawn enjoying the evening sunshine. Soon others came out of the adjacent woodland.
















Lovely.

Wonderful pictures. I dreamed of a little fox last night, which gave this series a little extra spice.

Wish I would see one someday. I like these pictures of the fox Andy. I think he said “enough pictures” when he gave you the snarly face near the end of this post. 🙂

Beautiful photos. I was privileged to see and hear lots of fox while living in Idaho, but since moving to Vermont, only a single sighting. I miss them! Such beautiful, smart creatures. Thanks, Andy!
