Not a lot to post about lately, so I’m making do with various photos of squirrels taken over the past few days. There are plenty of them around at work, and they are typically active at this time of year searching out food.

On watch!
A quick snack!

Or to be exact… two foxes. Just quick shots taken in the garden last night, but the first I’ve managed of foxes in quite a long while. Two different foxes (a bonus!), both cautious about coming too far forward; and I was equally circumspect, keeping still at the other end of the garden and risking just one photo of each. The distance creates the eye-shine, which is a little extreme in the second photo. Both looked in fine fettle, with healthy winter coats developing.
Fox number one peering out from behind a garden bush.
Fox number two, with a nicked ear, stayed further back, but stayed there for a couple of minutes. Progress!

This may prove to be the year without a fox, but the badgers have more than made up for it. To be fair, the foxes are around, just very shy. Unlike this garden regular. These shots were on Sunday night.

Happy badger!
An arty pose to close, and an arty treatment to go with it
