Yes the fox really does have a ball. It’s of the yellow tennis variety and appeared in the garden a few weeks ago. Every now and then it moves. When she’s not being watched she likes to play with it, throwing and chasing it around, just like a dog. I’ve yet to capture the more frenetic activity on camera, but when I was going through the most recent trail cam clips I came across this.
And here’s the star of the video from earlier today. She’s still limping on her rear leg but as I’ve said so many times before, if a fox doesn’t limp every now and then, it’s not really a fox!
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D and EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM lens.
