Foxes.
Early morning foxes, photography heavy post.
Up for a scrap!
Watching the video with sound up is best.
Scrapping foxes: sitting on a lawn with a pack of foxes circling you is rather nerve-racking!
Fox.
Our fox is equally at home within our woodland and farmland, or city streets. At the top of the countryside food chain, they consume a variety of animals. Their diet includes everything from birds and beetles to rabbits and rats. In the city, they scavenge around human activity waste bins and abandoned fast food is a favourite.
The Hunt.
Missed!
First light
A relatively early start this morning to try to photograph some foxes. Low light so slow shutter. Shutter speeds [sub 30th sec] but I was happy with the picture once a fox was stationary!

This morning, I was spotted by this fox, and he was as interested in me as I was in him.
Red Fox.
Some more Fox pictures. The Red Fox is the only wild member of the dog family found in the UK.
Red Foxes
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.
Evening walk.
A local evening walk back to local woodland where we spent a lot of time in lockdown when we were only allowed out to exercise. Our exercise was not jogging up and down the road but walking down the road and exercising by monitoring the local nature. Exercising the brain as well as the body.
A local Roebuck.
I am not sure if we spotted him 1st or if he spotted us 1st but I think he was the winner! This good buck is an animal we regularly see and we are sure he is the alpha male in the local woodland.
Far off across a field a family of foxes, playing in the evening sun in the open 6 cubs with mum. We watched them playing for 10 minutes Mum had spotted us quickly and kept an eye on us while the cubs played. When it was time to go she barked telling them it was time to go – and off they ran into the woods.
