Trail Camera Foxes

February 9, 2014 by Words | 3 Comments

I’ll be back to the main camera tomorrow night, but I thought I’d post a few trail camera images for a change. The first is a fox with mange. It may be the same one that appeared a few weeks ago, in which case I think its condition is improving. It’s possible someone local to us is treating it.

The next shot is one of several of Pretty out with a male fox (Nicked Ear). Generally they appear alone on the camera, but occasionally they share the space (and the peanuts).

The final two shots are both of Pretty.

Pretty Photos

Just three pretty photos, but possibly not what you were expecting from the title.

The first is this pretty group of ducks down at the pond. The sun was just about making its presence known during the day, and though the wind was sharp it was something of a relief to have some temporary respite from the gloom. It won’t last. More rain – and gales – are on the way.

The second photo is an unusual one for me. A rural landscapewithout any animals in it. This was taken by the fields along Ridge Road, just outside Falmer.

I was watching for buzzards at the time but could only manage a few long range shots.

To close, one of the Pretty who usually features. Here she is enjoying a good old stretch along the garden wall.

Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens, apart from the fox which was taken with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.

Four Fox Portraits

Nothing at all from the day (which continued the recent pattern of being wet, windy and generally dismal), but four portraits of Pretty the fox taken in the garden this evening. Her leg seems to be holding up well (she went back to limping a couple of days ago, but she was walking well last night and tonight).
