A Couple of Foxes

For all the regular activity in the garden it has been a while since I've managed to photograph two of the foxes together. Tonight the y made it relatively easy. Glancing outside, I spotted Shutterbug curled up in his grooming ball, and Shy Boy was nearby. They'd moved (of course) by the time I'd picked up the camera, but I still managed (just) to frame the pair of them. Shy Boy is in the foreground.

And here are a couple of Shutterbug taken from a different angle.

    Marilyn, he does seem to be a particularly laid back fox.

    Foxes are so cat-like. Either they're completely laid back or absolutely hyper. Great shots!

    Sami, spot on with 'sleepyhead'. Shutterbug seems to be a very tired fox these days. I suspect he's struggling with so much competition for the territory.
