As part of my volunteer work, I have access to the grounds of a restricted training area which is closed to the public. Roe deer & foxes have no such access restrictions and in the quiet of the early morning or early evening under the nose of the security cameras they go about their routines within the grounds.  Wednesday evening with good weather I took the opportunity to photograph some of the foxes. Many of the females have cubs – in the some of pictures you can see some are heavy with milk however, they are keeping the cubs safe deep in the woods. One family live under a storage container wary of people and Police dogs.

Sitting quietly I was pleased to get some pictures.

One fox is in poor condition suffering from mange. Sarcoptic mange is a disease caused by mites irritating the skin. This condition is common in foxes in the UK.
