Foxes are creatures of habit (aren’t we all?), and Pretty shows up at set times of the the day (except when she doesn’t). Foxes may be habitual, but they are also erratic. That said, she showed up late morning today, and again mid evening. A couple of shots from each ‘session’.
Camera note: daytime shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens; night photos taken with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.
Just a short sequence of Pretty the fox, checking carefully before she emerges from next door through the garden hedge.

It’s been very wet today, but birds have to eat whatever the weather.
The garden here is home to a number of woodpigeons. They live in the trees just beyond the perimeter but spend a good deal of time looking for morsels of food in the garden. Despite the constant drizzle, this one was doing rather well, once it had managed to gain its balance on the spindly shrub.
Pretty was hanging around at the same time, so I have managed to get my fox of the day photo.
On other fronts, it was announced today that the My Opera blogging community will be closing in March 2014. This isn’t a great surprise to me, and confirms the suspicions I had when I moved my blog over to my own space a few months ago. What I didn’t do was transfer the embedded images, a vast number of which are still linked back to the Opera servers. I’m now in the process of migrating them over here. Thankfully there’s a handy little plugin called ‘Import External Images’ which is taking most of the pain out of the process but I still have to update each post individually (and with over 2000 that’s not a trivial task).
